(9,189 posts)by a psychology mag that was talking about the "outrage" drug fed to people by Faux and others. It talked about how it is measurable with people how their "intake" satisfies them and like an addictive drug that builds a tolerance they need more and more to get the same "satisfaction". So some of them feel the outrage needs to get crazier in what is claimed and they feel the need to be "fed" with greater frequency during the day. So just like you get people who use a drug a little or a lot there are also people who will be way more into the crazy than others. So it's sort of like the ones who just watch one show or two like Hannity etc. and then there are the ones who have Faux on all day and night as well as catching Joe Rogan, Crowder and others.
It was interesting to note how when people were taken away from this constant "feed" how they exhibited anxiety, increased emotional response like anger and being argumentative about minor everyday things.
