Really, well maybe the metaphor fits. Great minds think a like. Which is why I do not need Fox, I think on my own. I may not be right but I do not need Carlson or Hannity to validate my beliefs. Because in they end that is what people are going there for, validation. Because even at FOX you ain’t watching for the news. FOX preaches to the choir all the while thinking the choir members are a bunch of rubes for listening to their BS. I think the metaphor here would be “laughing at us all the way to the bank.”
I think the real value of FNC is to spread the word to swing voters. I mean, if you’re posting on FR, your mind (if you haven’t already lost it in the past six weeks, and Lord knows we’ve got our share of those) is already made up.
They’re the only alternative to broadcast network news and cable network news — the only alternative with the carriage to make a difference.
like it or not, we’re better off in the long run with FNC.
