Fox the broadcast TV channel is different from Fox News the cable channel. Broadcast TV is operated by one of ~100 local affiliates and shows the Simpsons and local news. Fox News Channel is the Murdoch personal project to produce 24-hour conservative propaganda to shift the national discourse. Or at least it was this way 20 years ago, haven’t seen what the TV branding looks like nowadays.
Unless you mean something totally different than the popular interpretation (ie meaning) of the term, then “centrist” is a very politically charged position to take when virtually everyone, whether left or right leaning, at least agrees that things aren’t great right now
I haven’t found that to be the case, but maybe my groupthink is stronger than I thought.
I will admit I creeped your comments a bit, but you seem pretty progressive to be. What sort of toxic reactions are you talking about?
My last comment got downvoted for saying I have never watched Fox news 🤷🏾.
feels like an upvote worthy comment to me.
Maybe people felt if you’re on the internet it’s almost impossible not to have seen SOME news clips from them.
I mean I hate fox and I actively avoid them. but they’ve definitely floated in front of my eyes plenty of times inadvertently.

Fox channel was the Simpsons channel growing up, so I caught some of it invariably. I could believe a young person might not have seen it, though.

Thanks for the breakdown. I didn’t know that
They don’t even operate outside of North America.
I’m on the internet a lot and I’ve heard of Fox News over and over, but I’m not sure I’ve actually seen anything from it.
Just don’t say centrist too loudly and you’ll be ok I guess.
I’m left leaning center these days.
