Will someone PLEASE tell Fox that a stall is caused by exceeding the critical angle of attack, NOT too little airspeed??

Fox has always been awful regarding aviation. Just terrible. I would work for them for free just to help them get their facts in order.
But, you are not exactly right either.
A stall is a disruption of airflow over a surface sufficient to disturb lift. Sorry to nitpick.

...a stall is caused by exceeding the critical angle of attack......and is entirely normal when it occurs just as the rubber meets the runway.
