EVERYONE should go and re-watch the 2004 documentary film "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism." One of its predictions was that eventually, due the business interests of corporate owners, that OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS would eventually follow the Fox News model. In particular they pointed towards the model where opinion is presented as fact. FYI - I am Australian and we did try and warn the Brits, Americans and others what Rupert Murdoch was like. People either didn't listen or didn't care.

@Old_Hippie I'd agree with that except Fox has a lot more than just 3million viewers. As for the something else there's a bunch watching the same sort of culture war stuff in other places (YouTube included). If there is a difference there's a lot of Fox people who have their TVs run NOTHING ELSE and have those TVs on 24/7. So even when they aren't sitting there watching its in the background. Its as if they are addicted to the rage.

@roxannehale1386 Yeah I'd agree with that. They'll never hear it. But then that's part of the echo chamber culture we now live in. Social media rode in as this great White Knight of democratised information. And to a certain extent its been brilliant, but MOSTLY its been a shitstorm culture war battle ground where people rage at each other and we are all guilty of it to some extent.
