      It’s called the ‘Gish Gallop.’

      The best way for the Right to defeat the Left in an argument is to unload a torrent of lies, half truths, complete nonsense, and other disinformation. The idea is to overwhelm the other side’s ability to form a coherent response, because there’s too much to unpack.

      Trump knows Kennedy is an idiot, but he’s a useful idiot in that he forces the Left to deal with him.

      Same reason any other politician is on the news. Because unfortunately they dictate our collective plight as Americans. And really outside the US as well.

            Trump listens to Fox News on the daily. He takes advice and opinions from Fox News. Fox News influences his stances and direction.

            In this way, Fox News is even more powerful than Trump himself. Because Fox News influences like half the country, but also influences Trumps future actions.

            So it’s not that Fox News covers the news. The issue is that Fox News creates news.

              the comment wasn’t about fox news specifically, it was about news in general. like it or not, we need news agencies to cover what these people are doing.

      Because they control the country and people should know what they are doing. It’s not that complicated.
