1. Did they mention that North Korea has officially declared war on South Korea?

For perspective, the last time that the US declared war was WW2. And that was kind of a big deal. I think that only one side has to declare war for war to be on.

"We ignore, you stay ignorant."

peek at CNN even? Accidentally? And then wonder why the news every day is so very different at Fox?

"Fake news, fake news" I get it, but still, can they be that incurious about what is swirling around them?
