Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Fox is the gateway drug. It's the hard shit that'll really make a person lose touch with reality.
Someone who just watches Fox might possibly still be reachable.
anyone who watches Fox News on purpose is rotten on the inside, and not worth saving
Not necessarily. Some are just indoctrinated. Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance. Ignorance is very common, and is actually a solvable problem.
Though very difficult.
These people like Fox because it validates their hate, prejudice and resentment. People are always assholes first and turn into conservatives for validation of their assholery, not the other way round.
This is just an absolutist stereotype. The world is more complicated than that, as usual. If you're really capable of solid critical thinking, you should know better than to throw around "always".
While it can feel good to think you understand how all the people work, it's a bit of a fools errand.
For one thing, it depends on which Fox programs they watch. Tucker is one thing. The business news is another.
Anyone with a modicum of critical thinking skills and/or empathy will be turned off by the constant stream of bile these people are spewing. And "bUt tHe bUsInEsS nEwS iS GoDd" is really the dumbest take I've ever heard. Yeah sure, the rich getting richer is great and the poor only have themselves to blame. Of course. Right.
it's all the same shit, stupid
I understand being angry, but try to remember that if you really want the world to get better, it's about talking to people, and trying to get through to them. This requires a more nuanced understanding, first.
Unless you just want war and chaos, in which case, well, that's just trolling. You can't bully people into changing though. Were you ever bullied, and did you simply cave to the bullying?
if you watch Fox News at all, you don't understand much of anything, except yourself
I do agree that watching Fox will not actually improve one's understanding of the real world much at all.
this is correct.. they are rotten on the inside, and they are only capable of spreading more rot.. they are gangrenous.. dead on the inside..
You sound like a rightwinger talking about leftists
