      Deepfakes, fake news, Fox News, the Kochs, the Russians, etc, etc, etc - the actual issue is that millions of Americans fundamentally differ on what this country ought to be and won't be moved. This would be the case absent external forces & has been the case for over 200 years.

      People will believe what they want to believe in the service of ideology and there's nothing that can be done about it. Externalizing the sources of American political divisions blinds us to where we've been and where we've headed. You cannot fact check the chasm away.

      What is the policy solution to Fox News?https://mobile.twitter.com/webcommenter/status/1131760962418221057 …

      People have different ideas is more than a little reductive. The degree to which that is true and the degree to which they can't be moved is what matters, and there's good research that shows Fox News has meaningfully shifted the nation rightward in profound and disastrous ways.

          Breaking up Sinclair Media would do a lot of good too.

          You're on the right track. Go back and repeal the laws and regulations allowing media consolidation.
