My favorite remains "Obama scares Hillary into announcing". A single word that created the twofer with "Women are weak", and "Black people are scary",

I don't recall the quote by Obama, if I did I would not have shared your interpretation. I do not agree with Hillary and her politics but do admit Hillary had/has grit to endure all the going ons with her and Bill Clinton's political careers and her efforts to 'break the glass ceiling'.

When fox news started denying the big lie and stating that Biden won the 2020 election they lost the more radical part of the GOP to the likes of Newsmax. It seems over the past two years they have taken a step to the left; perhaps this perception is created by such a strong shift by many to the right.

Whether or nor a lie, it was time for Fox to move on. It did seem to me Fox took a step to the left, but I don't see it now. If anything I think Fox has moved more to the Right and less on the Trump band wagon.

OTOH, with the new ownership of CNN many feel they will be taking a hard right turn.

It became a matter of sink or swim. Both political sides are not happy with our current situation. CNN sees the handwriting on the wall and needs to find more neutral ground to appease both sides.

Part of the solution has to be teaching people how to recognize propaganda, as both sides do it. Big money is spent on advertising because it works; having entire media corporations as your advertising arm is very powerful, and perhaps something that needs to be addressed with big policy.

Fox's big money and big propaganda push for the big red wave this past mid term election did not happen....
So perhaps some are recognizing the propaganda and are not swayed by it.
