Everyone with a blog thinks they're a journalist
I don't know about Fox news, but here we've got two popular news channels, filled with conspiracy theories. And I expect, somewhere about 40% of the population are tuned to them. Idiots, yes. Many, sadly yes. But the worst thing about them, they managed to convince a lot of retards that the President of the country is Nazi because he is ethnic german, that he sold children to foreigners (last theories I heard, to Angela Merkel), that he wanted to throw gypsies into concentration camps, and that he himself burnt down clubs and thus killed people. Also, Soros is stealing the country and there is an Illuminati-like omnipotent threat called the "Binomial" - mathematical term, that's ridiculous, I know, but to them it refers to two institutions, for USA smth like CIA + FBI - which is taking our freedom and are subjects to the President. And the protesters are enemies and traitors to the nation. And yes, the multinational companies have orchestrated all recent protests.
And of course, just like your Trump, the ruling party feeds its supporters with the same conspiracy theories.
Journalists payed to spit conspiracy theories at TV channels? That's too far. And it feels like Hitler's propaganda on public television. Those people may be idiots and retards, but they are victims of a diabolical propaganda. And you can't know when, where, or how it's gonna end.
