You can't even get through 20 minutes of the broadcast without hearing how horrible San Francisco or New York City is as if they were War Zones.

Fear sells and the Rhetoric is real.
And ironic that Fox News is HQ'd in Manhattan and all the hosts live in Manhattan...
A shame they s*** on their home city so much...

But yea, people fall for it, unfortunately...

Right-wingers have schadenfreude about all big cities. They get their jollies when they hear about anything misfortunate happening, and Fox News knows it has the corner on that audience.

It is quite tragic when we have Americans literally rooting for the downfall of places where fellow Americans live.

And yet these Cities are still our Economic Powerhouses.

Exactly! There's a reason Fox News is banned in Canada.

It's got to be somewhere in Florida – the entire state is a vast wetland.

I don't think I've ever seen any other place in the US where homeowners screen in their entire backyards.

They're pretty much unusable more than half of the year if you don't.

I have a feeling that's for people from up north. You don't find those in other states nearly as much.

The worst state for mosquitos I've experienced is Minnesota.

Fox News isn't banned in Canada unless it just happened.
