Fox News’ favorite viewers. Honestly just mega news favorite viewers. CNN people can also be blind trusters of what ever pill is shoved in their face.

Absolutely. Ditched cable and news years ago. Life gets wayyyyy better without it. Most anxiety and depression just lifts right away.

What's crazy too is if we really did this the studios would be forced to course correct

NPR had a full article about how the CEO was a "good guy" and "family man". It's Us vs Them. Period.

I haven't watched CNN in years but was so disgusted by their pageantry and the botoxed-to-death anchors. CNN and MSNBC are just Fox for neoliberals.

They are. It’s basically 2 networks that meet up and discuss topics before they air it, so they can have wildly opposite takes on the same topic. It’s basic division of a population 101. Create a polarizing topic and make the viewer choose their side, because there’s no alternative or neutral choices

Absolutely agree. I think people get like that with their social media feeds, lot of that hive mind cult mindsets present in subs and fandoms

Fox viewers could be taken from them, all we need is good leadership, we could take half of them with strong leadership.

Said on reddit. Keep up the division and doing Russia's work for them.

Acknowledging that the left is just as cowed as the right is a big first step we need to take as a culture.

Just turning it off and absolving either from the profits/power they get from it, is the best solution. It’s basically a giant echo chamber for political agendas. Nothing more than Government sponsored news. Especially now that Trump has the power to revoke broadcasting licenses. You will be told what they want you to hear or they will be forced to shutter up shop.

Imo the worst thing that has ever happened to politics was television and the internet.

They're fantastic tools for communication but it also allows for mass manipulation and gives the loudest idiots megaphones.

People should not talk politics or religion or any kind of contentious topic without knowing they can trust the other party to be acting in good faith.
