75. Fear can be addictive. There's a cascade of brain chemicals that are aroused by media.

All the symbols, hyperbole, moving images and arousing or suspenseful music go straight to the subconscious. They bypass the part of the brain that buffers decisions based on logic and reflection to analyze the flood of emotions.

The reason they keep going back to Beck and Fox is an instinctive need to get their fear high, like a person on a sugar high has a let down. It's designed that way, they keep them in a low level of stress all the time as mind control.

Because under prolonged stress, reasoning ability can deteriorate and people seek to find a pack to protect them. In the case of wingnut media, these are cults.

Whenever someone gives them data that conflicts with their cult, or they are denied their fix, they don't feel they are alive or part the world so they go back for more.

Or finally take that jump off the cliff from unbearable stress as the only way out.

Just my humble opinion, not an expert.
