What we knew all along..
What Roger Ailes started, and Rupert Murdoch enabled.
Roger AIles said, "(paraphrased) People don't want to see the news. People want to see "news" that confirms what they already believe.
Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Laura Ingrham, don't actually believe most of the nonsense they spew on their shows, but they know it brings in ratings for their shiws. $$$ for the networks and $$$ in their pockets.
The Dominion lawsuit proves it definitively. They knew Sidney Powell was lying. They texted each other, saying so. Tucker Carlson texted literally to Laura Ingraham, "BTW, SIdney Powell is lying. I caught her."
It is so sad, what FOx News has done to millions of vulnerable people in this country.
My own mother is a victim. My mother is an intelligent woman with a Bachlors degree in Political Science. Sheonce was a critical thinking centrist, who was passionate about the enviornment back in the late 60's and early 70's. She was angered by the Santa Barbara oil spill, and the oil lobby'is ability to keep drilling a half mile from the beaches. She was equally angered by liberal mayors across the country pouring millions of dollars into failing schools and horrible housing projects that made peoples lives worse, not better.
She could look at the facts of an issue and for an intelligent opinion.
Today, she is addicted to Fox News. She believes EVERY word she hears.
Including the latest ones:
She believes that the left (whoever they are) will suspend the constitution and delcare the US a Communist country
She believes that Hunter Biden's laptop proves he is an agent of China
She even believes that the Chines government had a KEY to the Penn Biden center
She believes Trump won the 2020 election but it was stolen by the left
She believes that EVERY investigation of Trump was politically motivated and turned up absolutely notbing (SHe refuses to read the Mueller report, or even acknowledge the dozens of indictments and convictions). SHe believes the January 6th comittee produced NOTHING (SHe refuses to read the 845 page report)
She believes that January 6th was not violent in any way, and just involved a bunch of people walking around. (SHe refuses to watch the video taken by the insurrectionists themselves)
She believes that Ashli Babitt was murdered in cold blood whaile walking around. (She refuses to watch the video of the Capital Police Officer brandishing his gun, in an effort to protect the Congressmen behind him, and of Ashli Babitt climbing through a window that had been smashed open seconds before, about to lead a mob straight towrd the Congressmen, he committed his life to protect)
And that's just the beginning.
Fox News has converted my mom from an intelligent thinking woman, into a sad mindless lemming waiting to hear the next piece of "news" that will own the libs
And they have done the same to half this country.
Lord, I miss the Fairness Docrtrine, and the laws we had protecting us from monopoly media ownership.
Murdoch, got Reagan to wipe all that away, in we suffer greatly as a result.
