Yes so only trust our dear leader |
An enormous deal.
Rupert Murdoch is wrecking the country, and the poor saps that consume his profiteering lies don’t even know he’s screwing them. Murdoch did the same thing in Britain and Australia. You’d think people would have figured out how his lie machine works. Also while we’re at it: if you read the WSJ you’re also a sucker. Sign up for the g***mn FT. |
Stormy Daniels was free to go to any media outlet that she wanted to to tell her story. When she decided it was in her best interest to do so, she did. |
That makes Fox’s anointing acceptable to you? |
Sounds a lot more like Trump-favoring media outlets made a pre-emptive strike with a fat wallet. |
Fox is not a news organization, but rather a political propaganda group. It should be treated as such by the law. Govern it by the FEC, not the FCC. |
Yes, and it's been proven that Fox is propaganda (and MSNBC and CNN are not - they're just profit-first infotainment): Fox propaganda study: https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/aer.20160812 Data in this study is from 1998-2008. Fox was propaganda then and Fox is propaganda now. And anyone who watches Fox willingly is a dupe and a fool who is getting screwed by Rupert Murdoch. (That includes all the GOP Congressmen who have it on in their offices. They're low IQ morons installed by the GOP donors.) |
I literally don’t understand what it is about Fox that seduces so many people. Like brainwashing that induces them to sacrifice their critical thinking. It’s so sad. |
LOL! |
Part of the problem is that FOX is the only 24 hour news station. You can get FOX news at 1 a.m. while CNN and MSNBC are running trump crime shows. It would be nice to have news choice. |
I meant TRUE crime shows. Not sure why autocorrect did that |
Most conservatives have what psychologists sometimes call “rightwing authoritarian” personalities: they like simplicity, to be told what to do, minimal diversity of both people and ideas. Liberals tend to have the opposite personality (RWA traits are anti-correlated with creative-talent brainy occupations: this is why scientists, artists, professors, writers, real journalists, tech people, attorneys, etc all lean liberal.) Fox is created for the rightwing authoritarian personality. It’s all fear, hate, all about being told what to do and think. Tons of repetition. You must not have an authoritarian personality which is why you hate it. |
As long as simple people want everything to have a simple solution they will be manipulated and lead around by their noses, by Murdoch and FOX. |
There's some kind of magic mojo that Murdoch's been able to work - because that kind of stuff doesn't just go on here in the US, but also in Australia and the UK where his media empire has reach. And along with it comes idiotic "It was cold on Tuesday therefore climate change is a Chinese hoax" et cetera. |
This is totally wrong. At 1 am Fox has a rerun of Hannity. At 1 am CNN has a rerun of Don Lemon. At 1 am MSNBC has a rerun of Lawrence O’Donnell. |
