John Oliver is "biased" in that he definitely leans one way, but he still presents actual facts.
Fox News has crap like Tucker Carlson who lies so much that they literally had to defend his show in court by saying that because he lies so much, no reasonable person would believe him about anything and thus his show is satire, no matter how it's actually presented. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

My dad and stepmom are apparently proudly white supremacists now thanks to Fox News so you should probably give up hope now
Also my dad told my stepmom to stop acting like a "worthless n word" in the last argument I heard them have so seriously give up all hope in humanity E: I am 30 years old and my dad was never remotely like this growing up.

that's like saying from a creationist's perspective, convincing you that the Earth is young is frustratingly difficult. yeah duh. rightness isn't what's being debated here, it's the ability to actually convince people who are ingrained in their positions. my whole point is that many fox news watchers/trumpers are just as convinced of the "rightness" of their side than us leftist/liberal types are. debates between us are always going to end in loggerheads, and no amount of logic/reason/rhetoric will convince them. they're not going to convince me to watch Fox News, and I'm not going to convince them to not watch. --- while you slept, the world changed ...
