Even if there was a mea culpa from Trump himself, or a moral epiphany from Rupert Murdoch turning Fox News back into an actual new outlet, neither would even matter as the GOP fringe would attribute Trump's mea culpa as coerced and would move from Fox to OAN or Infowars for their 'news' source.
I honestly don't think that portion of the republic will EVER come back to reality.

I think all of news media is in major need of reform. I don't watch fox news because I know what it is and despise it. But at the same time whether I turn to CBS or ABC or CNN or others, its news with spin, the media has become far too influential and powerful and they know it and take advantage of it.
News services don't report the news as much as they shape the news and slant the news.
I almost miss the days when channel 2 had the flow of text news.
I think there's a almost lack of critical thinking as our lives have become more rushed as well. We want people to almost tell us what to think.
