She's not good at lying. Quantity instead of quality is her forte. In her new gig she doesn't have to face an audience seeking the truth either.

The news industry overall was more trusted in that era because, like Cronkite, it focused on actual news, avoiding blatant attempts to shape narratives and ride hobby horses. Cronkite once said, “It is our duty to be sure that we do not permit our prejudices to show. That is simply basic journalism.” Just 40 years after Cronkite’s final sign-off, that notion seems like it is from the Stone Age.

Yes, Faux “News” has zero credibility.

Nay, from a 'golden age,' though the news often had slants and angles in those days too. But seldom in those times were blatant liars platformed on wide-audience media like they are now. McCarthy era an exception, but that was early days of TV, they evolved away from that. Maybe the current media can do that too.

Say, you're a Christian I believe? Ever check out Revelation 21:8? Note that liars are called-out there. The author seems to have viewed liars as among the very worst!

No question.
For the sake of our republic there has to be a way to shut them down. Their purpose is not to convey news but to carry out said radicalization on the behalf of the GQP.

Faux "News" host Tucker Carlson calls QAnon followers 'gentle' patriots
Carlson says conspiracy theory believers – many of whom took part in Capitol attack – are ‘gentle people waving American flags’

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...anon-followers

This is the sort of "news" one can expect from Faux. Pure propaganda, brain-rotting stuff. The Cult believes every word.
