Default The Fox News Cult of Ignorance

When Fox News debuted it was crafted from scratch to be a partisan outlet for right-wing propaganda and a platform for advancing a conservative agenda. Its Internet community web site, Fox Nation, serves as the online gathering place for Fox viewers to absorb and spread the aggregated disinformation and conspiracy theories hatched by Fox News.

Two years ago the first volume of Fox Nation vs. Reality was published revealing an Internet operation that was dedicated to fiercely partisan, right-wing distortions of the truth. Its mission was, and remains, to construct a safe haven for the broader Fox News community to reinforce their preferred fantasies and unfounded preconceptions. Since then Fox Nation has evolved into an even more sheltered environment that has taken on many characteristics of culthood. It is a pattern they adopted from their parent, Fox News, where the slogan “fair and balanced” was an implicit condemnation of all other news sources as being neither. Recognizing that the prime directive of a cult is to convince your followers that your version of reality is the only true version and that all others are agents of deception, Fox segregated their disciples to prevent them from being contaminated by impure thoughts, otherwise known as facts.

It was created to counter the growing liberal population and influence.

Rupert Murdocks sons are liberal and friends and supporters of Hillary. You may not be one who watches fox News because if you were you would be aware of liberals such as Geraldo Rivera, Juan Williams, Shepard Smith, et al and the endless liberal guess that visit them daily.

you might ask as to why people are not watching NBC CNN CBS, etc. Perhaps one reason is they do things like ignore stories such as the Clinton's uranium deal but spend an inordinate time talking up people like Frederica Wilson, who has no shame, politicizing an event that is sacrosanct .

The Clinton "uranium deal" has been debunked over a million times and Fox drags it out from time to time to distract from Trump's latest disaster-a-day. Mrs. Wilson, a long time personal friend of the family, was in the car with four other people who heard Trump's conversation via speakerphone, and who all corroborate her story. On the other hand, Trump said he had "proof" that his side of the story was correct, but as usual when pressed for proof, he could not provide it. That's only one of many times he said he had "proof" but could not provide any proof. In addition, this entire scandal ONLY erupted because of Trump. He's the one who exploded on Twitter. He's the one who kept it going for over a week. He's the one who cannot move on.

Please explain what Frederica Wilson has done wrong ?

Normally I would agree but after reading the hit job they did on here on this issue, I really want to know what terrible things she has done. The President PERSONALLY FORCED this entire story by lying in front of the world once again and then would not shut up as any class person would do when discussing a death of a woman.....nah.....Trump comes first.....country second, especially if it is a black lady wearing a funny hat.....that makes for good material.

Damn, they did everything but burn her at the stake on Fox, as if she wanted this. REMEMBER, NONE OF THIS HAPPENS IF TRUMP DOESN'T LIE TO ACCUSE AND THEN GOES ON THE OFFENSE AGAINST A WIDOW.

She made a BIG f@cking deal over something that shouldn't have been a big f@cking deal. It was a phone call giving sympathy...now if he didn't "do it right" because she's black and everything is different for them...too f@cking bad.

You think Frederica Wilson is the one of the smartest people in her district? ONLY if it's ALL black.

Yes...instead of having Congressional district boundries nice and straight and regular...they look like a snake weaving their way through the "minority" parts of town to give THEM their own representatives. There would BE NO minorities elected IF the voting blocs were "regular" and not irregularly shaped.

They stack the deck...for them.

To anger a conservative, tell him a lie
To anger a progressive, tell him the truth

You readily accept the Russian uranium story without question, despite the fact that the Russians own 1/5 of our uranium deposit, despite the fact that it had to be agreed to by Secretary of State and the President and Bill Clinton had a number of high paying speaking gigs in Russia.

Yet the Trump-Russian connection investigation goes on ad nauseam

Let's assume you can fill in the name of the person, party or whatever that commissioned it ?

So what ?

If it's true, the CONTENTS are important.

That does not relieve those who commissioned it, not Trump, Jr. For meeting with Russians, as he said, to get dirt on Clinton.

Is this not deselecting attention from the contents of the dossier, which I certainly have no idea of, but it obviously has rankled your troops for another conspiracy theory.

Are not the contents important ?

Country first or Trump ?

Begun by, and amplified over and over by our President, with no respect to the wife, the country or the situation.

This started with another Trump lie and accusation. You radicals will always paint a picture of how Trump was wronged.

How about the wife ? You don't care. Had the President not lied, none of this happens.

And now we see how badly he lied as the WH struggles to catch up on his lies.

Country deserved the truth...you people just want to exonerate Trump. Makes you wonder what your first concern is.

Why would Trump make a big deal about it? WTF? It was the black congresswoman who started the big deal over how "inappropriate" was it not?

What ABOUT the wife? What does Trump OWE her? Men die in the military all the time, the presidents don't call every one. He was TRYING to be nice...but it wasn't good enough for the blacks...he said something "wrong".

I'd like to see the wife deported along with all the rest of the blacks. It's the BEST thing this country could do for itself. Then the Hispanics. America would soon be great again...back up to #1.

Release the entire thing...the recording...NSA has it...lets see if he was inappropriate in the mind of anyone but a black.
