Invasion of the Fox News Fogies


“We’re losing people like my father to the despair of Fox News, and it’s all by design,” wrote Edwin Lyngar.
“Let’s call it the Fox News effect. Take sweet, kindly senior citizens and feed them a steady stream of demagoguery and repetition, all wrapped in the laughable slogan of “fair and balanced.” Even watching the commercials on Fox, one is treated to sales pitches for gold and emergency food rations, the product cornerstones of the paranoid. To some people the idea of retirees yelling at the television all day may seem funny, but this isn’t a joke. We’re losing the nation’s grandparents, and it’s an American tragedy.”
Propaganda works, my friends. The Big Lie works. That's why, sans honest journalism, we've had it.
