I have contacted the FCC and asked that they pull Fox’s broadcast license or
censure them for reporting fiction as truth. this is not news it is propaganda
designed to continue to fool the already foolish american people. I urge all reading
this to do the same
for a true picture of how they really are at fox, see the movie “idiocracy.”
