All happy families are alike; some unhappy families are unhappy because of Fox News.
You might have come across the articles (“I Lost My Dad to Fox News” / “Lost Someone to Fox News?” / “‘Fox News Brain’: Meet the Families Torn Apart by Toxic Cable News”), or the Reddit threads, or support groups on Facebook, as people have sought ways to mourn loved ones who are still alive. The discussions consider a loss that Americans don’t have good language for, in part because the loss itself is a matter of language: They describe what it’s like to find yourself suddenly unable to speak with people you’ve known your whole life. They acknowledge how easily national crisis can become a personal one. At this point, some Americans speak English; others speak Fox.
Political theorists, over the years, have looked for metaphors to describe the effects that Fox—particularly its widely watched opinion shows—has had on American politics and culture. They’ve talked about the network as an “information silo” and “a filter bubble” and an “echo chamber,” as an “alternate reality” constructed of “alternative facts,” as a virus on the body politic, as an organ of the state. The comparisons are all correct.
But they don’t quite capture what the elegies for Fox-felled loved ones express so efficiently. Fox, for many of its fans, is an identity shaped by an ever-expanding lexicon: mob, PC police, Russiagate, deep state, MSM, MS-13, socialist agenda, Dems, libs, Benghazi, hordes, hoax, dirty, violent, invasion, open borders, anarchy, liberty, Donald Trump. Fox has two pronouns, you and they, and one tone: indignation. (You are under attack; they are the attackers.) Its grammar is grievance. Its effect is totalizing. Over time, if you watch enough Fox & Friends or The Five or Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity

What does the Fox say?
Is the Atlantic overtaking the NYT and WP as official mouthpiece of leftist propganda?
The Atlantic is a branch of the Atlantic Council. Proud members of the Council include one A. Vindman and other witnesses to Trump’s “impeachment.” Giving this source any credibility is just plain silly.
Unlikely. They have a sugar daddy owner.
That is why they publish this nonsense.
It is sort of a vanity press..
The Atlantic is nothing more than the mouthpiece for the Comminist Chinese Party.
It does my heart a lot of good to see the enemy in so much pain.

They just can’t stand that any variation from left-wing propaganda is allowed. Fox News is hardly die-hard conservative, but the leftists want anyone not 100% promoting the party line to be Trotskied.
If you want the definition of closed-minded followers living in an echo chamber, you just have to look at our leftists. Not only are they waging war against free speech and fairness, they tend to have emotional breakdowns when confronted with different opinions.
If anyone still has Netflix, they have a documentary caaled “The Social Dilemma” that I highly recommend. It’s helped me answer the question, “What has HAPPENED to our country”?

What a frickin’ ditz.

So Magen, do you write this junk all the time or are you just on your period?
Incomprehensible gibberish by the 50 IQ democrat/commie apes at the Atlantic. Only other apes on New York City’s west side will cheer this gobbledygook, even though they have no idea what it means.
Ask the Atlantic if they are advocating for the mass murder of 25 million Americans who would resist political re-education. That was the Weather Underground’s estimate in the 1970s as to how many people they would kill off after establishing the gulags.

funny that, last Friday was the 8th anniversary of the 9-11-2012 terrorist attack on our ambassador.
Not a mention of it anywhere in the press.
Not a mention of how Obama-Biden-Hillary-Rice lied openly about it for months.
Ask the Atlantic if they have ever uncovered where Barack Obama was that night while we were under attack. He has refused to answer so therefore he must’ve been incapacitated on drugs or jizz.

The “Boston” Bombers?
Wasn’t one living in Cambridge?
Weren’t their parents living abroad?
