1. Faux News feeds the hatred on the right

The right wingers are addicted, and Faux News takes advantage of that by telling them what they want to hear. They reinforce the hatred, bigotry, and fear of the right.

That's why Faux gets away with so many outrageous lies. It's what Faux viewers want to hear. Since they expect and anticipate that their addiction will be fed by Faux, they don't question what they hear.

Little by little, a few on the right are beginning to see that their support of the GOP and Tea Baggers isn't in their best interest, and they are questioning what they are being told. It's a small start, but hopefully one that will grow in the coming days. There are many, however, who will never be convinced, they are too far gone.

I read on another forum about how the mess in Detroit is all Obama's fault. Every bit of it. They ignore the fact that Detroit has been declining for decades, and that much of the damage took place long before Obama took office, yet somehow he is responsible for all of it.
