I'm a little surprised there isn't an upward trend. I thought these were getting abused more and more like signing statements.

That's his prerogative. I have no problem not discussing what he injected into the conversation.

I have a naive hope I can knock some stones loose.

Fox is for fiction. Its the only thing they're good at. But you should watch Fox for the entertaining kinds of fiction, not the mind warping crap spewer that is their fake news channel.

How would you know?

Easy. I watch lots of fiction on the Fox network as well as movies from 20th Century Fox. I've seen enough of Fox News to realise how dreadful it is and how fictional much of it is.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Actually I've never knowingly watched or heard anything on NPR but over here we have other respected news outlets like the BBC, ITN and more. Even Murdoch's Sky News is better than Fox.

I don't know what you expect me to do with that link. Congrats on finding a "news" source that looks as bad as Fox though since its clear you are happy lurking that far under the bar.

NPR tries very hard. It's unquestionably the best source for international news in American terrestrial radio.

They still have a similar problem to most news organizations here. Everyone who works there is a Democrat. It doesn't matter how hard you try to be objective in that circumstance. They've shot themselves in the foot even before they've left the gate.

That being said, with one exception, it's the only terrestrial radio I listen to.
