ORIGINAL: heavyblinker I guess the lesson here is that as long as you follow Fox News and random right-wing blogs exclusively, and label everything else liberal brainwashing, you'll feel good about the future. And I guess the lesson, here is that you know sweet fuck-all about me. I watch Wolf and Madcow, every day. Nice try, but no mind reading certificate for you, today. You're dismissed. Michael lemme chime in to say I find such statements about fox news incredibly idiotic because its clear from the people who make them, that they don't actually watch it. I watch tons of Fox News. It has always been a humorously partisan comic book / tabloid faux "News" channel (Chris Wallace being the ONLY exception). I will say, since Trump's election, it has become .0000000000001% less so! Progress! (With the exception of Chris Wallace), Fox continuously broadcasts a stream of simplistic opinion for the low-information viewer, mixed sparsely with some "News". I still love to watch it. It is still entertaining. There is an elderly, low-information audience for this stuff. Take Bill O'Reilly for example. His books ("The "Killing" series) (completely devoid of most significant facts) sell like hotcakes. "Killing Kennedy" was even made into a TV movie! I watched it for a good laugh. It ran like Mike Huckabee's Ronald Reagan comic books for kids. O'Reilly has no deep understanding of any current events, or domestic or foreign policy, nor does he have any significant historical knowledge of any major figure in U.S. History. But he has the #1 Cable show, and a half a dozen bestsellers. The funny things is, O'Reilly is the MOST knowledgeable of the bunch! (I LOVE his "Talking Points" at the beginning of the show. Each bullet he puts up on the screen is so deeply factually flawed as a premise, it make the entire segment devoid of any logic.) Keep in mind, O'Reilly is miles ahead of people like Eric Bolling, or Sean Hannity as far as ANY understanding of current events. My Mother watches him nightly and calls me on the phone to regurgitate all his talking points (She's almost 90).
