Which is what this is. Not only are Fox Propaganda and their clones perpetually fomenting anger, they also know that their audience is made up primarily of that 30% of the population who are more easily manipulated by fear than are their liberal counterparts. Their audience is starting to figure out who is actually screwing them over, so they resort to their tried-and-true "distract by scaring the shit out of them." "Never mind that $6/gal gas. The Cubans want to kill you with drones!!1!1!!"
