At what point do Trump voters finally feel like they've been politically betrayed by Trump and the Republican party? Why continue to support someone or a party that continuously fucks you over? What could you possibly get out of it? Brings back old memories of the "stay the course!" mantra at the end of the Bush administration..

Probably never.

How can someone with no credibility still poll 39% approval?
Because Roger Ailes, now thankfully dead, was an evil genius in the broadcasting world; he understood that people don't necessarily want to BE accurately informed, they want to FEEL informed.

Thus he staffed his 'news' channel with a slew of opinion commentators and saved money on actual news gathering.

He then drew on his experience helping run multiple Republican presidential campaigns in order to shape the content and the perspective.

Even after Fix News defended itself against allegations of false news reporting by (successfully) arguing that it is an ENTERTAINMENT channel, millions of people who want validation rather than information still tune in every day.

People of two kinds; Stupid people, and those who make their living taking advantage of stupid people.

What Ailes saw was an opportunity to capitalize on white fear of the black man and 'special facts' to go with..a bunch of old white guys a place to commiserate on how the country 'is going to hell in a hand basket' mainstream.

Poor old white snowflakes..and now they're all dying, as predicted.

Maybe I can become a billionaire by telling the red states that they are pretty.

Was it? I like Australia but they are openly racist in the name Commerce.

The channel was created by Australian-born American media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who hired Roger Ailes as its founding (AND PERMANENT) CEO.

Don't thank me.

Bill Cosby is an asshole, but calling him a ni##er would still be wrong.
Bill Cosby is a very sick man and rapist who leveraged his status to access women alone in order to drug and rape them.

The fact that you just called him an asshole and nothing more, proves your insensitive misogynistic attitude towards women's issues, is quite real.

He's also a bad hombres.

I'm talking about in context to OP. A lot of people were involved in getting FOX off the ground. It's base craves only one thing, though. Talk radio, Beck, Rush is only an hour every morning..what to do?:wink:

You are not included in my war against old white men.
