I feel much more informed by knowing what is NOT covered by Fox. That's my favorite segment of your podcast. I can tell you work so damn hard based on that segment alone. Don't want to have you work even harder but I would definitely listen to a podcast about how Watters is dumber than a broken brick in a concrete wall.

I'm still working on the super long list of stories that PBS covered about Israel that Fox did not. I've got stories from about 4/22 to today and it ended up being about 76 total. Most of them were short back and forth tit for tat violence but some had to do with Bibi's administration. He's a very controversial leader in Israel but a typical Fox News viewer would think he's popular.

I must be an honorary New Yorker. I always listen to podcasts and YouTube videos on 1.5 speed. Otherwise it sounds like people are talking really slow.

I have to remind myself to slow down sometimes because I have some followers who don’t speak English as their first language.

Just to share, a lot of Fox is like bumper cars, and repeated slogans, except for "Marxist Hour" on Sundays. But it is toxic. There have been articles, for years, about how toxic it is to democracy, to truth, etc. As they would say, "constantly attacking the US leader only feeds into, and supports, the Chinese, Russian and Iranian narrative. Saying the Pres is "feeble and incompetent and distracted," why doesn't that encourage disrespect for the country as a whole. And NOW, Hannity (who thinks he owns the world) and who does own extreme Republicans, literally said that congressmen are "public servants," meaning they have to get him coffee, and shine his boots, and do whatever the hell he tells them to do. And the servants are servile to get funding and support from Fox. How is that a healthful democracy, which depends upon literate, independent thinking citizens with a sense of humanity and respect for opposing views. The Senate is split. The House is split. There are pres elections every 4 years. How is does it not tear at the fabric of American democracy to constantly, minute by minute, demonize the American leaders. Of course Iran and Russia are emboldened. They listen to Fox!
