I saw a comment on twitter which went like this:

What do you expect when Fox News and many other right-wing outlets are just lying all the time? When lawyers for DJT go into court and admit there is no fraud and then go out to the steps of the courthouse and give a press conference saying there is fraud and it must stop.

Fox News, et al are talking about this non-stop since the election. Just think of all the people that have listened to this and believe it. What on earth do we expect them to do?

For what it is worth, the vast majority of those who would be labeled as “far right” here on HN see Fox News as part of the problem, not a source of truth.

I never said there are far right people on HN, and frankly, I don't really see them. There are a few trolls that get their comments killed, but I don't count them.

Much more so since the election.

As a rule, the further from centrist the person lies, the longer they have been disillusioned with Fox News.
