Fox News is dedicated, not
to journalism of course, but to gaslighting. It’s the perfect term for their modus
operandi of propaganda peddling. "Gaslighting or
gas-lighting is a form of mental abuse in which false information is presented
with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception and
sanity,” Wiki notes. “Instances may range simply from the denial by an abuser
that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre
events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim. The term
owes its origin to the play ‘Gas Light’ and its film adaptations."
