Good for you. But at least here you got to see what those audiences are being fed.

This is hilarious given the non-stop diet of lies and propaganda that Fox provides. But then there are even worse outlets on the Right than Fox. Here’s a funny story of how NewsMax viewers reacted - and how NewsMax reacted - when they accidentally published a completely true news story (they just happened to link to Reuters.)

Newsmax Runs Story Calling Out Trump's 'Degrading Rhetoric,' Readers Lose It
 
Newsmax readers went ballistic Tuesday after the far-right channel shared a link on X,
the former Twitter, to an article that described Donald Trump’s “degrading rhetoric”
at a campaign stop.

The network, a staunch Trump ally, had published a Reuters wire story on its site about
Trump’s recent remarks in Grand Rapids, Michigan. But the article appeared as if it were
written by Newsmax, except for a tiny copyright line at the bottom that identified it as
a Reuters story.

The first sentence of the Reuters article ― “Donald Trump called immigrants illegally in
the United States ‘animals’ and ‘not human’ in a speech in Michigan on Tuesday, resorting
to the degrading rhetoric he has employed time and again on the campaign trail” ― appeared
nearly verbatim in Newsmax’s tweet (pictured below).

Right-wing readers reacted harshly to the tweet. “Everyone block Newsmax,” one person wrote.
“Newsmax is fake news trash,” another declared.

Newsmax later deleted its tweet

It’s clear that some people just want to live in the silo and be protected from any news they find hurtful, even if it’s the truth.
