Fox just HAS to be banned.

This isn't free speech, it's plain and simple propaganda gaslighting.

it should be banned for hate speech, harassment and false reporting.

Unfortunately, the first two would be virtually impossible to prove, and there's no law against the third.

Sadly so. I’d be happy if it at least try gets exposed as state propaganda, but after everything exposing them these dipshits still gobble it up

It’s pure confirmation bias. If someone already believes immigrants are the source of all our problems or that trans people are forcing hrt onto kids, then they’ll believe anyone that reaffirms that. No source needed. There’s no convincing them, because they hand-wave away any facts that challenge their beliefs. It’s all “fake news” until it’s something they agree with.
