My grandmother fell victim to Fox News. Super liberal, smart woman. Worked with disadvantaged children in NYC her whole life. Volunteered endlessly, donated more than she had to charities and food banks. Voted Dem her whole life until George W. Bush. (Aside from Reagan, who everyone voted for)
Now she is in her 80s. She watches Fox News all day every day. She says climate change is not human caused. She is racist. She is anti science. She is a Trumper. She’s completely lost the plot.
(edit: realized now this is UK community/instance, but the effect of the Murdoch empire is the same across the pond)
That’s it, the article is part of the Guardian’s Australian arm but the harm he has done is there, here in the UK and especially in the US. It would be bad enough if he’d wrecked one country but he has tilted the debate across the English-speaking world.
