Faux news viewers don't mind being lied to

[tulipsandroses]

In regards to Faux lies, I’ve heard some folks on tv say that the public should be voicing their outrage at being lied to, or taking Faux news to task or something to that effect.

The horse has left the barn. It’s not coming back. They don’t care about lies. They feed on lies. At the end of the day, these are hateful, bigoted people. All of them. Not some of them. There is no excuse for supporting trump and insurrectionists. It’s the party that supports autocracy. It’s the party of hate. Whether it’s hating blacks, LGBTQ, immigrants, women, Jews, Muslims, or any other groups.
Any reason to keep their hate going is welcomed.

Anyone that thinks these folks will be upset that they were lied to, is delusional.

The fuck your feelings party, now says “being woke” hurts their feelings. We know that’s bullshit, but again, anything is welcomed to keep their hate mongering. They don’t care about lies.

1. A comedian the other day said it is the opposite.

Their brainwashed monsters are so out of control that the network feeds them their own lies to validate their stupidity. The network cannot stop lying to them or they will go to more fascist networks.

7. I think that's very accurate

It’s rooted in going back to the gooood old days.

3. They prefer to be purposely ignorant. That's what pisses me off.

13. They have a mantra...

When the facts give them that icky feeling they repeat "fake news fake news" and it calms them right down

4. They are addicted to that shit.

5. no they don't. a lie was being spread about Obama. Conservative radio host tried be truthful

and told audience, that the lie was a lie. His phones were lit up with angry callers. One caller said "I dont care"..that the lie was not true... Obama would have said or done whatever was making the callers angry.

Los Angeles radio starting at 9am with Dennis Prager (a chronic liar who talks about "truth" all the time), then to Sebastian Gorka and on through the day is nothing but lies. Giving the audience what they want I guess.

6. An impenetrable wall..

....of willful ignorance. An argument one will never win no matter what the facts are. The sky is always going to be purple. 🙈🙉🙊

8. The lies are the reason they tune in. Fox is their clubhouse, and the lies are

how they live their fantasy where old white men are gods and everyone else is stupid and corrupt.

9. "Nothing you say will change my mind"

A closed mind is impenetrable. Even with truth and facts on your side.

10. They have been conditioned to beleive whatever Faux tells them. Anything that

challenges their belief is "fake news". They have been told Faux is "fair and balanced" for decades now.
Anything opposed to that is the "liberal media" and "fake news".

12. The thing about lies is...

When one fails you come up with a new one

[IcyPeas]

14. they get a visceral feeling watching fox news. it angers them and riles them up. they feel justified

I think fox news viewers are the same type of people who used to enjoy going to public executions.

plus, if that's all they watch they have no idea they are being lied to.

15. If they think through the contradictions at all (doubtful), many Fox viewers would probably...

...come to the conclusion that either everything reported about the Dominion lawsuit is fake news, or get angry that the Fox News personnel were insufficiently devoted to the truth in real life, merely telling the "real" truth on air for ratings.

16. Well, i guess you gotta understand why they want to believe these LIES. (ALL OF THEM)

It's because IF they can't believe in the LIES, they would have to say JOE BIDEN won!! That's a really really tough fucking pill for them to swallow!!

17. Don't mind? They fucking INSIST on it!
