Fox News is Misinformer of the Year for 2020, the first time @mmfa has given the distinction to the network as a whole.

This year was a low point in Fox’s shameful history, and none of its employees should ever live it down.
mediamatters.org/fox-news/misin…
Fox’s misinformation had a direct impact on the lives of every single American this year, whether they watched the network or not. The nation suffered the consequences of the feedback loop between President Trump and his personal propaganda outlet.
Fox spent 2020 recklessly minimizing the pandemic as it took the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans. It’s impossible to calculate how many might still be alive if the network had treated the virus as a real threat to the health of its viewers and the general public.

It seems legitimately difficult to negotiate when the president doesn't care about the public, is uninterested in policy details, has no stable goals, doesn't empower his appointees to actually speak for him, and can change his mind about a bill based on cable news segments!
Do people still think Pelosi turned down an actual $1.8 trillion stimulus deal with Mnuchin that Trump would have signed or nah?
Some screengrabs criticizing the COVID relief package from a few of Trump's favorite Fox News shows from Monday night and Tuesday morning. By Tuesday night, he was publicly attacking it.

@mmfa We're not there yet to add them but seems plausible that there's a Hegseth connection to the Blackwater pardons mediamatters.org/pete-hegseth/f…

A Mount Rushmore of bad takes this year from the WSJ opinion section.
How it started. How it's going.
About 200,000 Americans died of COVID-19 in the period between WSJ publishing Mike Pence's op-ed saying the media was exaggerating the threat of the virus and Scott Atlas' op-ed saying the media was exaggerating the threat of the virus.

For the second consecutive night, the president of the United States was up after 1 a.m. tweeting deranged OAN chyrons.

Left, OAN News, 12:09 a.m.
Right, Trump, 1:14 a.m.
Here are some other screengrabs from that hour.
"One America News will officially not be calling Joe Biden the president-elect... we are the only broadcast news network out there with the integrity to report that this election isn't over. Fox News caved, to no one's surprise."
