FOX News should not be treated as a "News" organization. [View all]

In my opinion, it is a mistake to do so.

They are a propaganda tool of Trump and Putin and are an enemy of America.

They should be treated as such.

We will never fix the problems of this country so long as FOX is spreading their propaganda and conspiracy theories across our airwaves.

It has nothing to do with "free speech" or "freedom of the press" or the "media".

They are the biggest obstacle to the Democratic Party and the will of the people, in my opinion.
