You're leaving out a serious chunk of ignorant Americans. Most of us are illiterate, can't follow along with a novel kinda illiterate.
My wife has only been here a couple of years. Before she met me and started looking at the news she thought Trump was a fine man.
Stop the "man on the street" and ask him what he knows about what we talk about around here, daily news, he won't have a clue.
And finally, Fox News is the most popular media in the United States. And I don't wish to hear any hate for Fox from people who don't actually watch it. They're far more subtle than we give them credit for. They hardly ever lie!
