Just read a very interesting article on the two different sides of American politics.
Both sides think the other is uninformed, and if they could just see the ‘truth’, they’d come around.
The right sees FOXNews as the truth teller and the left sees the mainstream media, Hollywood and Universities as the harbingers of truth.
That is exactly right, but let’s look at the difference. The mainstream media is that for a reason. They’ve been around forever, where the best and brightest rise through the ranks and represent the YUUUUGE majority of news outlets, in concert with Reuters, the BBC and the media throughout Europe and the Free World.
FOX was created by Roger Ailes, the head Repub Political strategist, to push the Repub view and deliver votes for Repub politicians.
Hollywood and higher education also represent the best and brightest in VERY competitive fields, where those less talented and intelligent fall by the wayside and natural selection takes over.
YUUUUGE difference between the background of FOX, and it’s programming, which has ONE reason to exist. To help the Repub party, no matter what. Newscasters are hired on their blonde hair and hot bodies and/or their ability to lie with a straight face.
If a reporter, like Brian Williams at ABC is caught in a lie,, he’s FIRED. If/when a FOX reporter lies it’s no big deal, cuz they, like Dotard, lie ALL THE TIME. At ABC it’s huge news. At FOX, it’s just expected and ignored. Bill O’Reilly was caught in three ‘large’ lies in one week, but it took a sex scandal to move him out, with a check for $25 mil to soothe his feelings.
And you wonder WHY there’s a yuuuge disconnect between the FOX swallowers and those of us who get REAL news from the best and most intelligent among us?
