I am putting the blame for the seemingly total co lapse of this country squally in the lap of FOX NEWS . The constant drumbeat of who is to blame for your lot in life the blacks the poor moochers stealing your money the mexicans stealing your job, OBAMA and the democrats coming to steal your guns and lock you in detention camps at abandon Wal-Marts to OBAMA cancel ling Christmas and not letting you pledge allegiance in school to OBAMA being in bed with Muslim terrorists , I could go on and on but the hate delivered everyday on Fox and to a lesser extent talk radio ( and because of their success) all other media is classic divide and conquer and the viewers of this are told every hour on the hour to be AFRAID of everything and everyone. I see everyone blaming Obama today for the shootings in Texas and the racial divide in the U.S. but the Fox bullshit has been turned up to 11 since 2008 and caused people to have no respect for the president or authority in general. Don't like the law or policy you don't have to obey just do as you want because government is bad and freedom you know. Sorry for the rambling. Peace

At the same time, the MSM has totally abdicated its responsibility and abandoned any pretense of proper journalism.

(9,310 posts)a long and illustrious history of glorifying bigotry and violence in America, and, most destructively, the perpetuation of the "manifest destiny" fairy tale by the American white males.

(4,178 posts)but we do hold them responsible for stirring up hate by knowingly posting distorted news.
I never watch Fox, but in searching for something else yesterday I had it on for a short time. They were talking about what Comey said and totally changed and lied about his reasons for his decision.
People who are decent citizens are being fed hatred by commentators who are paid to lie.

you dont have the body language out there like you do on teevee. you dont have anyone coming on there and giving "the other side" such as it is, like they do on teevee.
you have to sit down to absorb teevee, mostly. but the radio is with you all day, whispering in your ear.
