Will conservative media ever be held responsible for killing off their audience?

[CrispyQ]

5. We let them lie & still call themselves a "news" station, so no, they'll never be held responsible.

And they'll twist the truth to blame the surge on Biden & the dems, & their viewers will believe them. It really is a cult. I've seen it happen twice in my family, reasonable, educated people who start watching Fox and/or listening to hate radio, & a year or so later, they are gone. Their brains have been replaced with mush. You can't talk to them, you can't reason with them. Any fact that goes against their world view is a lie. And the worst thing is, they all share a common trait—they refuse to admit when they are wrong or when they make a mistake. In fact, they often double down. Trump is like this, too.
