Fox News: "fooling old people into believing they are watching

Posted: Jul 12, 2017

An excerpt:

Neuroscience has known for years that “news junkies” or “political junkies” were in fact addicts…junkies…who got their addictive dopamine hit from the emotional roller coaster of unbridled outrage followed by the dopamine releasing experience derived from the thrill of watching the victory/denouement of the ideological apostate.

in-laws were so crazy. It literally made me feel sick after about 20 minutes. It was so obvious the brain washing going on. You can see the talking points repeated on this board everyday; it must all come from the same source. Whenever a conservative Republican is confronted with an uncomfortable fact, they try switch to the blame to Hillary, Obama, Kerry, or call names etc.

of that which you are guilty.

This is also an Alinsky tactic.

Thanks for your transparency.

LOL

Thankful I can't afford cable. I watch PBS Newshour - Minimum Wage MT

There are elderly who have that awful channel on from morning until night. I once told a couple (I was trying to be nice) that I like Shep Smith. They both rolled their eyes like he was no good. I understand now that I guess they weren't getting their dope-amine fix from Shep.

Why I started watching Fox News - winner

[ In Reply To ..]
I started watching Fox after trying many channels and news sites on cable TV.

I found that I could not agree on much for some of these cable channels, so I kept looking. I first watched Glenn Beck and learned about Soros. When he got a bit weird, I switched to other commentators and eventually decided I could agree with more these folks said than I could any other channel.

I was in no way brainwashed. I simply looked for a channel to finally find a home for the things I was seeing and found that they saw the same things I did.

I feel sorry for those who continue to go to the fake news channels. I feel bad that people won't give our president a chance and continually hope to take him down.

No one said I agreed with all he does or says, but he is trying hard and facing more obstruction from Democrats who simply are sore losers. I really hope they get beaten in their re-elections or elections. Perhaps then our president Trump can finally get done things that will make our country great again.

I have hated to watch the last 8 years or so happen considering I have lived long enough to have seen a lot of history and how this country used to be great and had a purpose. This is just my opinion and you needn't call me any kind of racist, but I watch how Muslims are taking over along with illegals. Seems our government wanted them before we elected Mr. Trump to make this country over to the way they grew up in their respective countries. I think we should make it mandatory to speak English and make it our official language. Either that or Native American, but we don't need to have 49,000 different translations to instructions, etc. I am sick of that.

My generation was good and we went through many different and horrible things, but we overcame them. I am baffled by people who want to continue supposed racism and discrimination. Try being a senior and see if you aren't discriminated against. They look at you like you are senile, have dementia or Alzheimer's disease simply because you have gray or white hair.

All people get old if they are lucky to live long enough. So it is coming. It is a lot of fun to be intimidated and to be treated like some 10 year old.

Boy, do I hear you. When I was young (now 70), older people were respected.

That's as bad as the Alaskan pipeline who sells 75% (what I heard) going overseas.

This makes me furious. Marcellus shale gas ...

I belong to three other large, mostly female sites on line. These aren't political (for instance, one is a large crafting site). I'd call one of them about evenly split. The other two are leaning Trump. For sure, none of them is pro-Hillary. And you can do this with just about any photo of the crowds that Trump gets. (See link.) Of course, Hillary's own internal polls are telling her the same thing, which is precisely the reason for the latest dirty political trick. You ...

I started watching it in the beginning just because of Adam Levine, and I've found I'm loving it the way Americal Idol used to get me. I love the banter between the coaches, though Christina gets a little too crude for me sometimes. But I like her otherwise. What do you think of the talent? I voted for Frenchie Davis today. Nobody on Blake's team impressed me much. I think Xenia's got a lot of potential, but she's obviously too young, and p ...

Anyone into the games this weekend? I am hoping for Dallas and GB to win. I'd rather face either of them than Arizona or Philly in the divisional round next week. My Vikings have caused me much Super Bowl and playoff trauma over the years and I'm not expecting much but hoping for the best. Favre really gives us a good chance. I'm anxious to see what happens today. I'll be a wreck by next week (they play on my birthday - the last time that ...
