Rather than directly addressing this economic harm, Fox News and similar outlets are advancing a “patience” narrative — urging audiences to view the present hardship as a necessary sacrifice for a greater future gain. This messaging is not isolated spin but part of a deeper myth-making strategy. It reframes economic pain as patriotic perseverance, situating Trump as a visionary leader who is playing a long game, and portraying dissent or critique as short-sighted or disloyal.
Decoding really has a great franchise with your regular look at what news Fox News viewers didn't get. It'd be great to see you all play that up with a separate newsletter / brief with its own branding - like Fox Un-Covered — News your "Friends" don't want you to know ... a top 10 countdown, 10 to 1, of those stories/headlines Decoding continues to log so well.
I continue to be amazed by the amount of hard work you are doing in putting this together
A question in my mind is whether Americans who watch Fox News and other right wing disinformation outlets can ever be brought back out of that bubble; or better yet, can the bubble burst?
