We won't tolerate foreign influences in our politics?

What about the Australian who owns Fox News.

Scott Baio
Kirk Cameron
Victoria Jackson

For just a few examples

But the comparison is really even worse than that. Kimmel is using a platform that he has to speak his mind. FOX is inviting others to use their platform and asking them for their opinion. I would venture to say the scenario FOX is presenting is 10x worse because they are wrapping it in the guise of news to add credibility to opinions they wish to elevate.

Jon Stewart was great at highlighting this. You would think wingnuts glued to Faux would process this. Obama is dumb because he used a TelePrompTer Trump is wise for doing it. And so on.
