(Fox news; the most watched network on cable for the 3rd straight year)
Fox news is the mouth of Trump administration. Approval rating on Trump’s job performance
is 43%. But 90% of Republicans support him. It is far from impeachment yet.
‘A year after white nationalists in Charlottesville chanted, "You will not replace us!"
their message has been taken up and amplified by Fox News personalities. Tucker Carlson
tells his audience that "Latin American countries are changing election outcomes here
by forcing demographic change on this country." Laura Ingraham says that "the America
that we know and love doesn't exist anymore" because of "massive demographic changes"
as a result of "both illegal and sometimes legal immigration that progressives love." They
echo the white-nationalist claim that America is at risk because the nation is growing more diverse,
an argument that treats the mere presence of nonwhite people, citizen or noncitizen, as an
existential threat to the country.’
