(374 posts)It's really sad to see people manipulated so, most of them think they're informed and forming their own opinions.
I know several people in person and several entire message boards where you know what their opinion is going to be on any issue, it's whatever FOX tells them it should be.
What's really bizarre is the way they manage to get people to take both sides of an argument depending on who it benefits politically. Deficits don't matter, then they trump everything. Nation-building is stupid, then it's essential. Democracy in the middle east is worth any price, then it's treason to make a phone call in its favor.
FOX is going to get Americans killed, well it already does but I mean directly from whipping up outrage and intentionally misleading people. They build their nightmare piece by piece...it's so similar to the Islamic outrage industry it would be funny if it weren't so deadly serious. The right is wound so tight right now I worry a bit about what will happen in Nov.
