Infuriating and 100% predictable.
As an outsider, it is so weird to watch the proxy war between Fox and CNN/MSNBC in the US. It is cringey and just feels awkward - like when a bullied kid tries to fight back physically, but only plays to the bully’s strengths and makes their own situation worse? I can’t quite put my finger on why it seems weird, it’s like the anchors can’t hide their disgust and astonishment so it feels like editorializing. Still, the truth has to get out there somehow, I’m just not sure about cable news’ delivery.
ETA: And maybe it also has to do with ad revenue - outrage brings viewers for either side.
