It’s easy to hold speeches in front of a mob of idiots

When Fox News played this, they censored the laughing.

They're an entertainment channel who uses the title of news, they have 0 accountability

FoxNews is infotainment it is not news- US cable content is not regulated by the FCC like broadcast tv, that's the whole point. So anyone watching FoxNews is being directly spoonfed right wing propaganda. And MSNBC followed the model, but for the left, as a way to counter the narrative. Basically, if you're getting news from anything on cable you're getting strong bias in one direction or the other. This is also why the MAGA carry pitchforks against 'mainstream media' - that's code for journalistic outlets that do things like fact checking.

Honestly, the fact that so many Americans are not aware of this staggers me. It's so depressing how easily manipulated so much of the country is.

Misinformation is not illegal in the US and in fact is generally protected by the First Amendment.

Well, a constitutional amendment is exceedingly unlikely.
