Well yeah, they just go deeper into the bubble by changing the channel to OAN or Newsmax.

Fired Fox News politics editor: Trump's ire at election night call led to 'panic'


"And it showed to me how much television - the perceptions of events, of television as entertainment, news as entertainment and treating it like a sport - had really damaged the capacity of Americans to be good citizens in a republic because they confused the TV show with the real thing."

In some ways, Fox journalists were telling their viewers things they didn't want to hear. "Part of the problem, of course, was that there were opinion hosts on Fox who, for months and months and months, had been repeating the baseless claim that Trump was going to win the election for sure," Stirewalt said.

Stirewalt said he was iced from Fox's airwaves soon after his explanations of why Fox projected Arizona's election wins. Two months later, as Biden took office, Stirewalt was gone, along with roughly 15 colleagues.

I am in a bubble. I believe in Russian collusion. I believe that Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian plant. I believe Dementia Joe is the best president ever.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".
