    Watched yesterday and today. You can blitz through and hour or two of recordings in about 15 minutes. Give you an understanding and certain level of sympathy for Trumpsters and conservatives.

    Fox had a 3 minute new report that impeachment proceedings are happening and the rejection that ex president could not be impeached. Then stories about: small restaurant hurt in S.Dakota because of cancel of XL Pipeline; barber cuts hair in front o Michigan Capitol to protest shutdown to save lives; WHO controlled by China which caused Covid; evil teachers unions causing kids to miss school, an ICE agent claiming hordes of MS 13 members are massing at the Mexican border because of Joe Biden, an ad for a longer expose about immigrants, a guy paid off a lot of student loans furious that some loans may be forgiven, Mark Cuban not playing the national anthem and they almost tearfully so love all the symbols of the country, but no mention of the riot, the US Capitol as symbol, the Trump and Confederate flags or stabbing police with flag poles with American flags.

    What's worse? Being a cowboys fan or watching two hours of Fox News....for any reason.

    I watched about 2 minutes of Tucker last night where he proclaimed the big lie, then had some guy on that went on about Maxine Waters and some lady in Cuba and then Carlson going on about the radical dems and that George Floyd really wasn't killed by the cops, it was a drug OD blah blah blah

    Yeah I mean it's insane if you watch normal coverage of the Impeachment, they keep on saying "what would need to happen to move Republicans, etc."

    The answer is obvious.... NOTHING will move them because they don't live in the same reality. Even these Republican Senators all watch FoxNews, and serve the FoxNews agenda. Since Newt Gingrich & the rise of Bill O'Reilly who just regurgitated Rush's morning show, the Republican party is wholly subservient to whatever FoxNews propagates their viewers with. If Fox doesn't change, half of America will not change. It's just that simple. 40% of the country will always believe that something like Mark Cuban's team not playing the National Anthem as being a more important issue than literally the violent insurrection of our Democracy by right wing mobs.

    In the end the Left, and the middle just have to stay engaged in the long run in American politics. We cannot allow another 2009 - 2016 to ever happen again where we all fall asleep at the wheel. And these next two years (less now, and losing precious time by the hour) are the most important to codify Democracy into our government. If Biden and the Dems in the Senate & House fail to do so, America will be unrecognizable as a Democracy moving forward.

    I tried to watch a few minutes of Tucker Carlson for interest sake. I think I might of made 1 minute before I was totally disgusted.

    I was flipping around on the radio dial yesterday and on 740 they had some conservative radio guy going on and on about how great Hydroxychloroquine is. They are still talking ABOUT THAT.

    I mean, these people are really something. But, I guess they make a lot of money doing what they do.

    I used to watch Fox just about everyday just to see if I was missing something and to have a different perspective during the Obama years it was tough but you could pick something up.

    It's just embarrassing now, they don't even try to be objective.

    Oilers fan in any year with a 7 or 8 in it, and no one named Phillips on the coaching staff. 29 straight winning seasons with one coach, who correctly predicted Kenneth Stanley's crazy and noped out of the first Oilers' job. Not a fan of any kind but getting three more rings while there was a tire fire on Kirby.

    Seven enraging narratives (to link across"episodes") plus a sprinkle of outside news to soothe the cows that everything is all right for their team.

    Other cable nets aren't better nowadays

    Turned on 740 yesterday while going to get lunch. Learned 1/6 was Pelosi's fault for not beefing up security at the Capitol. Remembered why I don't listen to 740. Turned 740 back off.

    The damage Fox News (and conservative radio) has done to this country over the last couple of decades is catastrophic.
