60. If it were only a single propaganda network it wouldn't

Be so bad. But they own like 10 propaganda networks (in addition to Fox News there is Fox Business, Newsmax, the Blaze, OANN, RSBN, real Americas Voice, TBN, CBN, EWTN) plus like 95% of talk radio which reaches more people than all the TV networks combined
