Why is confronting Fox "news" so critical? It's not just their efforts to undermine democracy, pump up Putin, and sow conflict and division in the public square. They're a poisonous force responsible for the break-up of marriages, families, friendships and the most basic ability for Americans talk to each other.

Shun. Confrontation is not the right approach.

Lawsuits over the decades stipulate that Fox News is entertainment, fiction, distorted reality, not news. The recent revelations merely tell us who is to blame.

Rather than treating them as "corporate media equals," the reality based world needs to ignore them, treat them like Weekly World News/National Enquirer.

The game corporate media plays now is cross promotion with Fox News.

Don't promote. Don't confront. Shun.
