Have you actually watched Fox News lately? Right wingers are leaving it in droves because except for a few pundits (Tucker Carlson etc) They are too moderate. Most of the craziness is on social media these days and right wing news sites on the web

There's nothing moderate about them. They're just not sufficiently extreme for the taste of those audiences. They fell under scrutiny that some of their smaller competitors aren't facing, so they're trying to maintain plausible deniability, which means the crowd of extremists has to go elsewhere to get their rage fix.

Moderation and extreme-ness exist on a continuum. Being not sufficiently extreme is being too moderate by definition.

You're assuming a relative scale, I'm assuming an absolute scale.

it's not that Fox News became "moderate" , they became just another left-wing propaganda hub like CNN and WaPo , except for very few commentators like Tucker and Ingraham.

Their elections coverage was a disaster as well. I think they are in identity crisis of sorts.

You are cracking me up. I haven't laughed so hard out loud in front of my computer in years. Thank you!

why was their election coverage a disaster? because they called AZ first?

How do I know you're delusional? You think Fox News is a "left-wing propaganda hub".

There appear to be a substantial group of people who are soc convinced that certain leaders can do no wrong, so any outlet that calls those leaders on anything is inherently exposed as socialist propaganda.
