It's no secret that Fox News is one of the most (if not the most) criticized news stations in the United States, and the 'Really Fox News?' Tumblr exposes just why that is.
Featuring some truly outrageous and unbelievable headlines, like 'Are Liberals Trying to Brainwash Your Kids Against Capitalism?' which questions the supposed brainwashing tendencies of The Muppets movie.
My personal favorite post is a shot of Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine's now infamous tweet that says "Dear Fox News, don't play our music on your evil f***ing channel ever again. Thank you."
The 'Really Fox News?' Tumblr was started over two years ago and states it "is committed to exposing the Fox News Corporation as a propaganda machine that knowingly broadcasts false, biased, racist, and factually incorrect information in order to further a warped, conservative political agenda."
Check it out for some laughs and even some eye-opening information.
