Two years ago News Corpse published a collection of articles that documented the deception, propaganda, and outright lies disseminated by the Fox News community website, Fox Nation. It was dubbed “Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Community’s Assault On Truth.” Every chapter was fully verified by reputable sources and exposed the website for its shameful dishonesty and lack of ethics. It is that sort of concerted effort by wealthy and powerful media fabulists that cripple the intelligence of the willfully dimwitted.
Volume II of the series is also available with more documented examples of Fox’s devotion to disinformation. It is titled “Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.” If you purchased Volume I, you will want to add this to your library. It is a great resource for proving to your Fox-deluded friends and family what a den of deceit it is. And if you didn’t buy Volume I you can get Volume II and leap right into the fantastical world of Fox, then go back and read the first volume for additional chuckling and wincing.

Here is an excerpt from the introduction:
Two years ago the first volume of Fox Nation vs. Reality was published revealing an Internet operation that was dedicated to fiercely partisan, right-wing distortions of the truth. Its mission was, and remains, to construct a safe haven for the broader Fox News community to reinforce their preferred fantasies and unfounded preconceptions. The articles aggregated there were from the fringiest sources (i.e. Daily Caller, Alex Jones’ Infowars, Breitbart News, etc.) and often contained nothing but easily disproven falsehoods and rank defamation of liberals.
Since then Fox Nation has evolved into an even more sheltered environment that has taken on many characteristics of culthood. It is a pattern they adopted from their parent, Fox News, where the slogan “fair and balanced” was an implicit condemnation of all other news sources as being neither. Recognizing that the prime directive of a cult is to convince your followers that your version of reality is the only true version and that all others are agents of deception, Fox segregated their disciples to prevent them from being contaminated by impure thoughts, otherwise known as facts.
Some of the enlightening, infuriating, and entertaining chapters include:
- Obama’s Imaginary Foreign Fundraising
- Paranoid Gun Nuts Go Wild
- Night Of The Living Tea Party
- The Poor Have It Way Too Good
- Was Benghazi A Koch Brothers Plot?
- Zombie Reagan’s Fake Declaration Of War
Check out the reviews on Amazon to get an idea of what previous readers have had to say. On a platform that is notorious for focused criticism it has maintained a 4-star average rating. And for reference, that 4-star average was also maintained for the reviews for Volume I.
Purchasing either or both volumes of Fox Nation vs. Reality is a great way to support this website and the work done here to reveal the malignancy of conservative media. And as always, your continued support and patronage is very much appreciated.
Pair this announcement with a repeat of John Cleese’s observation about FOX in 2014. “You see, if you’re very. very stupid, how can you possibly realize you’re very, very stupid? You have to be relatively intelligent to realize how very stupid you are.” Sept. 29, 2014. Brilliant! And this explains and forgives (?) why Coulter, O’Reilly, Hannity and Kelly are such favorites of Roger Ailes: they’re too stupid to know how stupid they are. And the already know their viewers are especially stupid, so they only have to be able to read to be on-air pundits. These are NOT newscasters.
KIrsten Powers’ book “The Silencing” is a much better read.
