Of course blame Fox News with their 2.5 million viewers. Couldn't be anything else. As long as the left insists on labeling anyone who thinks differently as some sort of mind numbed Foxbot, they'll continue to be completely baffled.
It's not coming from the left it's just my opinion. Until people quit fighting the Red vs Blue war and meet more in the middle nothing will change. Until people change there interest and would rather gain knowledge from the news and face the truth no matter how much it goes against their beliefs instead of inflate their ego with "alternative facts" people won't meet more in the middle. FOX News/radio hosts/blogs etc offered disenfranchised people something real established news outlets couldn't, an alternative fantasy world were the news twists itself to fit a narrative a portion of Americans would like to see rather than the truth. That drives ratings which over time has given these people careers which gives them a sliver of power in the world that they didn't have before. It's entertainment that people are manipulated into believing is news because it caters to them.
You ever wondered why Americans haven't been on the same wavelength for a while now? Probably because a handful of horrible people realized there is a business in fake news and they have no problem warping people's opinions to gain a buck. So now we have 2 versions of America and people can't discuss anything because they feel the other side is out of touch and we can't even decide what the debate should really be about.
