Although it doesn&#8217;t reflect the manner in which Democrats are disconnecting. While Fox News and the GOP want you to think it&#8217;s a condemnation of the Party&#8217;s embrace of lefties like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, it could be just as easily that they think the Party isn&#8217;t embracing them tightly enough.<\/p>\n<p>But what really makes this Fox News segment ludicrous is that they left out another significant result from the poll. Republicans were also deemed to be out of touch, and by a slightly larger margin (57% to 33%). For some reason that statistic was never mentioned on Fox News. Go figure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/FoxNews\/foxnews-gutfeld-out-of-touch.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38646\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to this dissemination of blatantly distorted news, Fox also failed to mention everything else in the poll that revealed how badly the Trump administration is at odds with the American people. For instance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They believe Trump&#8217;s tariffs will hurt, not help the economy (46-25)<\/li>\n<li>Mueller&#8217;s investigation of Trump&#8217;s collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice should continue (46-38)<\/li>\n<li>Trump is too friendly with Vladimir Putin (46-39)<\/li>\n<li>Russia is an adversary, not an ally (72-16)\n<\/li>\n<li>Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election (65-26)<\/li>\n<li>The interference by the Russians affected the outcome of the election (41-18)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since Fox News went to the trouble of citing this poll, they ought to have reported the results more completely. And particularly with regard to the question of how badly Americans think the Republican Party is out of touch. But then again, Fox has never been known to responsibly cover the news, so why should they start now?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With the midterm elections coming up you can count on Fox to lie profusely about the issues and to smother Trump with accolades.
