According to Fox News' latest internal poll, President Obama's approval rating stands at 58%. That's down about 5 points from a month ago. Democratic approval of the president remains high at 90%, but Republican disapproval jumped 10 points in a month to a staggering 66%.
Amongst Independent and Democratic voters, Obama still remains very popular. So how to explain the large jump in Republican disapproval? One doesn't need to look any further than Fox News itself to find the answer.
On Wednesday, April 1, Fox News ran a "news" segment proclaiming President Obama was preparing to impose Sharia Law in America.
This is the station that prides itself as being Fair and Balanced. It calls itself America's No. 1 news choice. Of course President Obama isn't trying to do any such thing. In the Republican Fantasy World, this news segment is true, it's fact reported by a very serious news organization. So let's say you are a Republican who watches Fox News and you see this segment and you astonishingly learn that the President of the United States is trying to impose a very oppressive rule of government upon its people would you really want to support that person? No way!
It's stories like these that are delivered via the caretakers of the Republican Fantasy World that are to blame for the rise in Republican discontent for the president. Not only does such fascist and un-American fake journalism create disapproval it also creates fanatical followers who demand revolution and Tea Baggers that think America is about to collapse. It's a shameful way to do journalism but it's even more disparaging to a national debate that deserves so much better.
