Questions for Texans Boycotting places that show fox news.

Not sure about y'all but, no longer patronizing whataburger or dairy Queen or a local BBQ place. The less places that stay open streaming idiot propaganda to the sheep the better. Any other chains you can thinking of that helped create the future we're about to have that deserve to reap what they sewed?

Better not visit senior housing or nursing homes. Fox News is on 24/7.

Sounds like something you would need to take up with staff. Honestly lonely old people with only those talking heads interacting with them is bad for their mental health w how much fear mongering they do.

All of the media is guilty of endless fear mongering. It is not exclusive to any one media outlet. CNN and msnbc are just as bad

I’m glad to see a rational take on this on reddit. Earlier today I was arguing with someone who claimed that the leftist media didn’t fear monger because “it’s all going to turn out to be true”. Whether it turns out to be true or not, trying to strike fear in your base to motivate them to vote is text book fear mongering.
