1. I think this is preposterous

I believe the opposite: Stupidity makes you watch Fox News!

I think there's a government study grant in here somewhere.

:hi:

3. Yes, some stupid people watch Fox News. It probably works both ways, don't you think?

2. And true to form Fox responds to the study by attacking the university where it was done

Sorta proves the point of the study.

4. "Sorta proves the point of the study." Yes, it does. Also, a typical

symptom of sociopaths is that they never admit to being wrong. We all know
that everybody makes mistakes. But the sociopathy would not admit it.

Our world is in the horrible shape it is in now mainly because we have
too many sociopaths in places of power -- both in governmnet and in
private industry. They are the cause of trouble and wars.

5. It's really a chicken-or-the-egg thing. n/t

6. I believe the fact that 90% of the news media is Republican-owned

didn't just happen by chance. It is the result of long-term planning -- to a large extent,
at least. The Repubs. are now able to sway the beliefs of half of our nation, because
these people have been so conditioned and brain-washed by long-term propaganda and lies.

Would you describe the above as the chicken or the egg coming first?

BTW,one would think that an octogenarian like Rupert Murdoch would have already retired. But
no, he is still in there pitching and trying to expand. Some months ago he was trying to
buy the British Sky Broadcasting Group, which accounts for roughly half the news media in
the UK. But a large number of the British people would have none of him. They were
fighting against the sale. I don't know how the battle is turning out today. I think the
average Briton is better informed than the average American. I wish the Brits luck.

Yes.
