do one thing before opening their mouths to speak; they think! You'll always get, at the very minimum, a kernel of truth from which the story will continue to develop. Not so with the right-wing conspiracy nuts and hate mongers.

These knee-jerk, right-wing fear mongers seldom do anything similar. Just like their "president", they don't engage the brain before opening their mouths. They make up stories knowing full well that their viewers will believe any ridiculous statement they barf out at them. Their only goal is to titillate or enrage their viewers. For them, there has to be a visceral reaction conveyed to their viewers, or they've failed in FOX's mission statement.

Once again, the difference between right and left is intellect. The right depends upon their viewers to be uneducated, incurious, and subject to the more base instincts of human beings. They're only slightly more refined than Neanderthals, and FOX uses that in their "reporting".
