61. I appreciate yr POV but I think FOX TV is not the whole problem and may not be most of it

Ailes didn't start FOX til 1996. The RW hysteria against Bill Clinton was already in full swing.
I think RW talk radio, which is even worse in all those ways you describe, is as much to blame as FOX for brainwashing America.
Don't get me wrong, I'm eagerly munching the popcorn for the Gretchen vs Ailes match. But no matter the outcome, it won't change the station, and it won't change talk radio. It will just give us a warm feeling of revenge against Ailes as the machine rolls on regardless.

Here is a counterpoint you may not have considered Dreamer Tatum Jul 2016 #13

Several women say they were indeed badly harassed. How is that harrasment calimary's fault? emulatorloo Jul 2016 #14

I was crystal clear nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2016 #20

Ok. I still don't follow your logic that calimary's post caused Ailes to sexually harass women. emulatorloo Jul 2016 #28

That isn't my logic at all. Dreamer Tatum Jul 2016 #36

Understand now. Thanks. emulatorloo Jul 2016 #42
