Frum: Fox News Creates an Alternative Knowledge System

Former Bush speechwriter David Frum states the obvious: Fox News creates an alternative knowledge system.

It is a system where George Bush gets portrayed as a very popular president even though he left office with a 24% approval.  A system where the economy only began to tank when Obama took over even though the crisis began in 2007.  A system where Iraq had something to do with 9/11.  A system where Bush is to credit for killing bin Laden.  A system where 8.6% unemployment is greater than 9%.  And a total fabricated alternative knowledge system where George Bush created 10 million new jobs.

Fox proudly trumpets all of the above almost daily.  And the mindless Republicans who watch it cheer it on as if the more false the claim the truer it becomes in their make-believe world.
