Fox...
I understand that this plays well in an echo chamber... but this is the sort of thing that nobody (except party shills) like.
The segment is about Trump's 15 state plan, but the particular graphic is about his focus... because SOME of those 15 states are 'in the tank' for him already. These are states that he believes are 'in play' for him, so they are where he will focus.
In other words, while trying to make Fox look stupid, this actually makes anyone who falls for it look stupid (once they understand what really happened) and people don't like being made to look stupid... and they take it out on those who did so.
There's another thread about how the 'attacks' on Trump (and vicariously 'the right' like Fox) actually work in their favor.
Yes, liberals think fox is stupid and they will laugh at this clip, ignoring that it made perfect sense in context... The right of course watched it live so they know it's a joke....
but SOMEONE will post this on a blog like this, and some undecided person will believe it at first and be 'against' Fox... thinking Fox made a silly mistake in their graphics... but once they find out the truth, they will be against the left... I just don't see that this sort of thing helps
