A Wired opinion piece with which I agree. An excerpt:
"Fox News is prepared to destroy America’s democratic traditions if it
will help its most important and most dedicated daily viewer. The
threat posed to our democracy by Fox News is multifaceted: First and
most simply, it’s clearly advancing and giving voice to narratives and
smears backed and imagined by our foreign adversaries. Second, its
overheated and bombastic rhetoric is undermining America’s foundational
ideals and the sense of fair play in politics. Third, its unique
combination of lies and half-truths has built a virtual reality so
complete that it leaves its viewers too misinformed to fulfill their
most basic responsibilities as citizens to make informed choices about
the direction of the country."
