FOX News Is a Threat to Your Physical, Mental Well-being
Right-wing propaganda network doesn’t care if it kills its viewers
I’ve always known that Fox News Channel (FNC) is bad for your mental health. As I’ve said multiple times, FOX News is anti-journalism. Most journalism organizations work on the principle of trying to inform their readers. But FOX News wants to keep its viewers uninformed. And it does an excellent job of keeping people in the dark.
Several academic studies have shown that FOX News viewers knew less about current affairs than people who didn’t watch any news at all. However, uninformed people can’t make intelligent decisions. And that speaks to the danger of Fox News.
During the coronavirus pandemic, we needed people to make informed decisions about mask-wearing, getting vaccinated, or believing that the disease was real. Some of the kookier right-wing commentators urged their followers to photograph hospitals when the coronavirus pandemic first broke. They thought doctors were faking the disease! You would have thought thousands of people dying and mass graves would have been enough for people to take this seriously.
