    This is the same Fox that owns Fox News. So now Roku’s advertising push can include a side of misinformation.

      I was just at my father in laws house and he has roku, it already does that. He went from voting for Harris to last week saying “Trump is the smartest president we’ve ever had”.

          Fox news is specifically designed to target the elderly as their critical thinking skills are fading, targeting their most triggerable fears. Fox Brain is a known phenomena, one which can usually be reversed if easy access to Fox News is removed, as seen in this documentary.

          I myself was able to stop my mother from going down that path with the help of a browser add-on that let me block right-wing rage bait news from showing up in her YouTube feed, which had an almost immediate and lasting effect.

          Yeah, that doesn’t sound like Roku’s fault.

            Dementia doesn’t automagically make one rabid for Trump.

              There seems to be a pretty strong correlation though

                Same with the level of propaganda.
