The Ring of Fire: Fox News Makes You Stupid – Creating The Most Uninformed Generation

According to a study by a former top official in the George H.W. Bush administration, Fox News so badly mangles the national narrative that it creates uninformed voters. This is further proof that Fox News simply skews the national narrative and damages its viewers chances of ever being informed.

Ring of Fire hosts Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

Seriously, all anyone need do is talk to someone who watches only Faux!

Trump has now bragged now he can predict terrorism! "I can feel it!" he said! And his supporters eat this stuff up! Carson said the pyramids were used to store grain! These guys are the GOP front runners and have been for months.

As someone previously said the GOP has become the Stupid party! I've been around a while and never seen anything like this! Do not know how much more I can take!

HELP!

I really hadn't considered the fact that the "polls" Faux Snooze puts out are responses from their viewers, which really makes it an echo chamber.

destroying the republican party... The party is destroying itself, they would be stupid without it. Not that I'm defending fox "news" but I just think the party doesn't need any help destroying itself
