"Faux News"

Post by AlanM »

"Faux News" is what the left, and particularly the anti-gunners call the FoxNews cable channel.
Every morning my television turns on at 0500 on the Fox News channel and I listen to it in the background as I spend my morning at my computer.

What triggered this post is a thread on a leftist forum gun group.

Some of the comments:
"Gun prohibitionists are like the GOP in one respect: They rely on low-information voters..."
******************************
"I compare restriction supporters to Faux News viewers.

It's easy to lie to them due to their absolute hatred of all things gun-related, and because they're being told what they want to hear.

Like blind cult followers, they can be led around by the nose. No lie is too obvious or stupid."
******************************
This second one set me off. (I'm banned from posting on that site so I just monitor it for my amusement.)

If FoxNews is SO far off target, WHY is it number one over all other cable channels?

I don't know why you stress over those idiots. I avoid them at all cost.

My concern is what happens after all of those 50+ year old viewers that propel Fox to #1 keep dying off that they won't have enough current aged 18-49 viewers to keep them number one.

Liberals know they have time on their side and know this is a battle that can last decades or even a century. You old fogies keep dying off, but the current man bun and skinny jean frappe-ordering youngins won't be taking your place in viewership.
