A good read.
It’s my way of saying the vast majority of Republicans watch FOX as their “News” source and the vast majority of their news preaches Dems are bad. Blacks are bad. LGBT people are bad. Hispanics are bad. Biden is trying to start a war. Silly hit pieces meant to distract you.In2ition wrote: ↑Mon May 23, 2022 6:41 amI was speaking of a particular story, iirc. I'm certainly not giving Fox News a pass, they do this often in stories and should be called out for it too. In fact, I thought Fox News wasn't a legitimate news source here, so it isn't accepted as evidence on this forum.

I was just about to take a picture and they changed it and changed some stories in the headlines like the one mentioning people comparing Obama to monkeys. A hard hitting piece.
The top story headline is a picture of Biden with a caption “WILL IT BE WAR?” talking about war with China. Under it is a headline opinion piece saying Biden is about to make a huge blunder with China implying he is going to start a war with China. Right next to it an opinion piece saying Biden is being too soft of China. A BLM hit piece and another BLM hit piece under it. An anti transgender story. A story about the Bishop refusing to give communion to Pelosi abortion piece. Those are the top stories at FOX News right now.
I realize that your interactions with Reps might be limited to your mom & dad, brother and a few others, but it seems odd to me to lump a "vast majority of Republicans" into this. Personally, I think all that is complete garbage mischaracterization, which is growing sentiment of the Dems I hear from. That seems quite dangerous and kind of evil to demonize all Dems in that way, and it goes exactly the same to try to paint all or vast majority of Reps in a similar tone.Nodack wrote: ↑Mon May 23, 2022 1:15 pmIt’s my way of saying the vast majority of Republicans watch FOX as their “News” source and the vast majority of their news preaches Dems are bad.

Yes, I honestly believe that most have abandoned Fox News as their main news source. I believe that I have far more interactions with a much larger amount of Reps than you do, so that's my anecdotal experience from talking to them.
There is actual evidence and data that is tracked all the time. Even if Fox News has taken a dip in ratings, it still covers a huge swath of the GOP members in this country. More so that any other "news" source.
You know.
