FRAME: Fox "News" is, get this new word, mythtainment...
Much like other news organizations are more like "infotainment", Fox is in the business of producing myths, not news. There are gigabytes of proof on how Fox "News" distorts what is going on and there is proof via polling where Fox "News" watchers are woefully ill informed.

Instead of news, Fox makes myths out of the news and projects old myths to its audience in various subtle and ham-fisted ways.

So start using the term mythtainment. It looks funny, but it's not funny.

4. Like the OP, but Misinfoganda has a nice ring to it, too!

Sounds like something that would smell bad.
