This might be a minor issue in progressive messaging, but conservatives are not watching fox news like they used to. I’m sure a small percentage is, but most MAGAs I know personally believe that Fox news betrayed Trump, and they’ve switched to watching Newsmax. Also, talking to my MAGA friends and family, they believe that Newsmax is the only truly ‘conservative’ and thus reliable source of information, and every other source of journalism is just liberal propaganda, including Fox News. I don’t exactly know what to do with this insight but I’ve realized that progressives and liberals keep attacking Fox News and I don’t think most of us have realized that Conservatives have switched to a more underground right wing propaganda source. Just for clarification, I dont think Fox News is liberal in any way, shape, or form, but that’s what some MAGA people I’ve talked to think. Edit: I think the danger is that the MAGA propoganda machine has gone underground, and fox news is a decoy to distract everyone from what they really think.

    Fox News exists to make a profit.

    People read Daily Wire, and at least used to watch OAN, except that doesn’t exist anymore.
