Revolt
Two conservative contributors to Fox News have resigned over its relentless support of former President Trump and his lie that he won the 2020 election but for fraud. They are being celebrated by liberals and some right-wing commentators for their honesty, but it won't make a difference at Fox, which continues to pound its false messages. Fox understands that if one broadcasts a consistent theme over and over that people will come to believe it. Viewers will accept its lies and propaganda as truth. George Orwell wrote about this in Animal Farm and 1984. It is hard to believe that such miscommunication exists in the US in 2021, but it does. The two conservatives did the right thing but it won't stop Fox which is hiding behind the First Amendment. One wonders if Fox is a clear and present danger.
