We receive Fox News in the UK. I watched Fox News during the last presidential election. all night long it was one mantra, Romney is winning, Romney is winning easily. The other stations I watched, both British and American, said that it looked like Obama was going to retain the presidency.
The following day the half wit Hannity was asking his pundits, including Carl Rove, how they could have been so wrong with their predictions. The reason is quite simple, they misled their viewers. They had access to the the same information as their rival TV stations but they decided to mislead their viewers instead. It's junk news.
You must have been watching a different Fox News.
You're entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts.

That is standard operating procedure at FAUX News, to mislead their viewers. They obviously couldnt change course even when the math was going to disprove their nonsense. They simply stayed where they were comfortable, feeding the sheep their daily allowance of lies to keep them pacified and comfortable.
You're absolutely right. We should be more tolerant of stupid people.
After all, they were born that way.
But most FAUX watchers choose to remain that way. I can have no more tolerance for someone who makes a conscious decision to remain misled and stupid than I can have tolerance for someone who is perfectly healthy, unemployed, and unwilling to work for a living.
I watched some FOX news on my visit to Las Vegas in October. I was there for two weeks. Whenever I watched the channel it was hammering Obamacare....... every time I saw the channel. Talking heads literally laughing about it. I never saw a different subject being discussed. There seemed only to be one point of view being broadcast, no time given for the other side of the argument. In England, both sides of such an important subject have to be given time on the BBC. I have never seen a so called news channel like it.

They also revive already debunked conspiracies in the hopes that their viewers will not remember that it was debunked or that they never even heard that it was debunked.

It's not "news", it's "info-tainment"

A poll by Farleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey showed that of all the news channels out there, Fox News viewers are the least informed.
People were asked questions about news habits and current events in a statewide poll of 600 New Jersey residents recently. Results showed that viewers of Sunday morning news shows were the most informed about current events, while Fox News viewers were the least informed. In fact, FDU poll results showed they were even less informed than those who say they don’t watch any news at all.
That is not the reason...Fox caters to the ignorant masses in the US telling them what they want to hear, regardless if it is true or not.
Do you really think ignorant masses watch any news at all?
