A treatable illness caused by over consumption of right-wing media. Symptoms include paranoia, fear, outrage, and in severe cases, physical violence. Not limited to TV, Foxitis can be contracted through a toxic diet of right-wing social media platforms, podcasts, and talk radio. Foxitis is reinenforced in the brain by algorithms that drive recommended content. The disease is not permanent. Successful treatment includes deliberate exploration of other media, especially foreign outlets (BBC, ITV, CBC) that offer diverse views of how and why the world works. Deliberate consumption of diverse views changes the patient’s social media algorithms, thereby changing the course of the illness. Also see Foxmania.
