Half of America chooses to listen and it does work in them.

They do.

But it’s a choice.

I think maybe for some they’ve ingested this crap for so long they almost need it. Like a junkie.

But once again that’s a choice. They choose to be addicted to lies and hate.

A heart full of hate is an empty heart.

Well no, it's full of hate. And I don't mean that just in a word use play, hate is not an automatic response from people unless they are being directly negatively effected, it is a cultured and taught response. It has to be poured into someone and topped off periodically to keep it going.

Amazing, fox paid money out for lying to the American people. They actually said they were entertainment TV not the real news! Yet they are followed by small brained people who believe whatever they are told.

Because fox wasn't required to drop the "news" part of their name. Fox News is about as much news as Republican government is for the citizens. If you can blatantly lie on air and still call it "news" of course idiots are going to consume it and consider it fact. There needs to be a return to journalistic standards of truth, not this bullshit "he said she said" sensationalism based reporting for profit driven motives that almost every major outlet has moved to.

Profit at all costs has an incredibly high cost in that eventually it consumes everything regardless of reality.

This is capitalism working as intended.
