Fox Nation Tweets About ‘Serious Problem’ of Media Ignorance

Fox Nation, an interactive commentary limb of the Fox News Channel, regularly vacuums up other sites’ content and retweets it under its own banner, which is how we do nowadays. (Many of this scribe’s own write-ups have appeared under their header.)
