Nothing sums up the world of Fox News 2021 better than the spate of emails we’ve received from viewers who thought they were writing to their favorite network.
As usual, names and other identifying information have been redacted to protect the ignorant. Spelling, grammar and punctuation have been left intact.
Here’s a sampling:

Subject: Viewing around the world
I think it's wonderful that you broadcast viewers from around the world, but apparently no one has shared with you that FOX NEWS and FOX BUSINESS NEWS is very popular in Nicaragua!
In Granada where I live, we view Fox through Cable Claro, As a faithful viewer I would like Fox to include Nicaragua in your broadcasts when telling your worldwide viewers all the wonderful places that Fox is so popular. Please consider that because in Nicaragua we love you!

I am writing this to let you know I think it is pretty sad on Shannon’s part when a guest is sickened by Kamala Harris’s laughing about the border and Shannon makes excuses for her. She shouldn’t be making excuses for when she don’t know because believe me Kamala Harris is the lowest of the low that anyone can get and EVERYBODY is sickened by her laughing.
Shannon should keep her excuses to herself.
Will not watch Fox anymore!!
QUIT MAKING EXCUSES FOR THE SCUMS OF THE EARTH
That is why the world is the way it is right now!!
Freaking stand up to these abhorrent people!
I thought Fox News was like that but according to Shannon Bream I was mistaken.

Much depends on the live televised hearings to be held by the January 6 Committee, something I doubt will be shown on Propaganda Central TV. The general public needs to be energised by righteous anger, to be as worked-up and unrelenting in its quest for justice as the most hysterical magamoron mobs were to achieve the opposite.
Anyway, I got home tonight and hope to be back at work tomorrow. I just finished editing a piece Brian did that I had planned to post Sunday but the best laid plans of mice and men…
Must say, however, I do miss the challenge of trying to talk sense to the trolls that characterised my earlier years, here. I realise that that was a futile hope on my part but it did generate some interesting exchanges.
In 2008, I’d started watching Fox(Not)News and got so boiling mad that I googled something to that effect and found y’all. I’ve swayed between lurking and popping off since then. Thank you to Ellen and everyone else who is helping keeping the pack in good health. Methinks I’m agonna need y’all to help me quell my rage in the coming year.
May 2021 prove to be the year that all the chickens come home to roost for the insurrectionists, the traitors, the Covid enablers and the abject cowards who could have but never lifted so much as a finger to stop them. My greatest hope is that Trump’s repudiation and complete humiliation is complete before the Grim Reaper finishes the job.
