That's quite the approval cliff Trump walked off trying to overthrow the election.
Thankfully, the brainwashing is not entirely complete and a lot of people are seeing it for what it was.

Fox "News"
(Score: 3, Insightful) by Anonymous Coward on Friday January 15 2021, @08:27PM (4 children)
Yup, just review some clips of the crazy drunk lady jeanine(?), the trust fund kid carlson, desperate tough guy hannity, and nazi saluting ingraham.
The rhetoric they have been throwing around for years is very violent and divisive, demonizing democrats and liberals all the time while downplaying such thing as protests against police brutality. Oh right, also propping up white supremacist groups while occasionally making the weakest statements against racism and brutality.
Conservatives need to put pressure on Fox to remove these cancerous liars, at least if they actually want healing and unity. You can't cry about "moving on" when your preferred news outlet is basically calling for the death of political opponents.

Fox "News" is a bunch of duplicitous bastards and bitches that talk out of both sides of their mouths.

"Troll", huh? I guess the truth really does sting. It's about time you seditionists finally heard the unvarnished truth.

Don't look at Fox news, aside from the phenomenon. Ask what makes them so attractive to the believers. And then ask why there is no real opposition of any consequence, and how they are under the same influence, from the same vector. All this stuff was documented the last time it got serious. We are living a rerun.

That is somewhat disinguous. Fox has been becoming more and more radical over the years, along with talk radio like Rush Limbaugh.
They were all just conservative outlets, and those outlets were responsible for pushing the narrative of fear and hate. This wasn't really a problem with the people, if liberals were to only trust news from a small group of outlets then they too could be slowly radicalized. Fox ramped up rhetoric to make conservatives feel like they were being attacked and thus short-circuited logic so they could emotionally manipulate their viewers. That is a human problem, and the only way to deal with that is to create systems to deal with such blatant propaganda.
The fairness doctrine repeal by Reagan is what opened the door for one sided propaganda to gain a foothold. It was a deliberate and decades long effort by the GOP to radicalize their voters. Fox "news" and other radical rightwing outlets were the phenomenon that drove this current crisis.

You know, if I were to follow that line of thinking, it would lead to a dead end with no hope, just curated dystopia, society after a lobotomy and doing the Thorazine shuffle

As usual there you go reversing the blame. Typical fusty, "both sides" and "its the people's fault" which is actually what has "lead to a dead end with no hope, just curated dystopia, society after a lobotomy and doing the Thorazine shuffle."
It is interesting how you describe current reality but always seem to have the wrong take. Shill? Troll? Moron? Who cares?
