Things like this makes me worried about the future of the USA. How can a country succeed in the future if they reject reality? I know Fox News is not representative of all US media, but even the president admits that his worldview is based on whatever the news editor cooks up that day.

All this makes me think a war is being cooked up though the stance on Europe doesn't make any sense to me. I thought China is the "issue" now not EU which still pays the price of the latest NATO war(s).

Yup, my guess it will be 6-7 years until war.

To understand what is happening ("How can a country succeed in the future if they reject reality?") you need to understand the concept of ideological subversion and the role played by the demoralization of a people.

No? I mean, maybe they're the most egregious, but I'll bet each and every media outlet bends things from time to time to fit a narrative.

Look at the live reporting that happened during the election. There was a lot of sputtering going on when THAT didn't fit their narrative.

Evidence?

This is pretty clear case of a total failure to check the credentials of an "expert".

Additionally, Fox has a history of similar failures. No other major news network comes even close.

That's the generous interpretation. I'd consider it more likely that they were willing to intentionally fabricate expertise in order to project their world view, knowing that their viewers wouldn't care about the facts.
