You’re going to really play like people aren’t programmed
Yeah, I’m going to play like people aren’t mindless drones to be programmed, play like they have independent thoughts and feelings. Yes, I’m taking people seriously.
The shit on Fox News merely rehashes what they already believe. Fox News isn’t trying to get new viewers. They have the highest viewership rates in the country lol. Their business model is keeping people tuned. And you don’t do that by introducing new shit. There’s a reason Hollywood can’t stop with the superhero movies: they work to produce revenues. It’s the same with Fox News.
If we follow your logic, you think it’s a matter of simply stopping Tucker Carlson and Hannity from broadcasting their views. If that stops, then people will calm down. They’ll be less weaponized. I don’t think so.
I think someone else will step in to weaponize their stupidity. The Fox News audience that is invested in that world view wants to be stupid. They’re asking and willing to be used. And as long as there is someone out there to weaponize them, to speak to their stupid ideas and their feelings completely removed from reality, and channel their stupidity into undoing modern civilization, then they’re all for it.

If we follow your logic, Fox News is doing this because it’s fun, and not because it gains power for the extreme right from which they draw funding.
You’re a prime example of weaponized stupidity.

I’ll decline to return the baseless, intellectually dishonest, demagogic insult, but I was explicit about my logic and what it meant.
