    “​​We never envisioned, and would not knowingly have enabled, the disinformation machine that, in our opinion, Fox has become,” the [group of men who helped establish Fox News] wrote.

    What in the wild blue FUCK did you think was going to happen, then? Did it really seem like an honest effort back when it was launched?

      Back when it was launched, they didn’t have Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingram, and the rest of that group of ultra-morons that clearly have no clue what the hell they’re talking about and only engage in conspiracy theories, open racism, and performative outrage.

      The original group were a bunch of people who were trying to spread a legitimate conservative message, but were willing to quietly engage in shady tactics to do it.

      The ones who are there now are a bunch of people trying to spread racism and conspiracy theories, and openly admit to engaging in shady tactics to do it.

      I’m not saying either group is good. But there is a difference, and one is exponentially worse than the other.
