you'd have to actually care about politics, the far right, how ruper murdoch and nixon's advisors spent 50 years making Fox news an unassailable fortress of misinformation a geriatric rapist used as a platform to take over a democratic leadership.

Those are the same people trying to take another media entity into.

i stay out of politics but to say that only fox is doing misinformation is turning a blind eye to the lies of NYT, CBS, CNN, ABC, BBC (although foreign owned) and MSNBC.

		AFAIK, Fox News Channel is the only one to ever stand in court and argue that they're not really news, but "entertainment".

		OP did not say "only fox is doing misinformation". Rather they are referencing what was a deliberate goal for Fox from its outset [0]. Other companies and individual journalists followed suit to various degrees, yes. [0] https://theweek.com/articles/880107/why-fox-news-created which is itself kind of a simplistic, preach-to-the-choir piece. But as you said you mostly stay out of politics, I figure it is easier to follow rather than say the full Wikipedia article on Roger Ailes.
