you brain was mush loooong before now

It was somewhere around the 100th response that my brain turned to mush.
Last week, I devoted an installment of my newsletter Welcome to Hell World to a dozen stories from people who, like me, had close relationships that had been strained or ruined by family members who’d become obsessed with Fox News.
No matter where the stories came from they all featured a few familiar beats: A loved one seemed to have changed over time. Maybe that person was already somewhat conservative to start. Maybe they were apolitical. But at one point or another, they sat down in front of Fox News, found some kind of deep, addictive comfort in the anger and paranoia, and became a different person — someone difficult, if not impossible, to spend time with. The fallout led to failed marriages and estranged parental relationships. For at least one person, it marks the final memory he’ll ever have of his father: “When I found my dad dead in his armchair, fucking Fox News was on the TV,” this reader told me. “It’s likely the last thing he saw. I hate what that channel and conservative talk radio did to my funny, compassionate dad. He spent the last years of his life increasingly angry, bigoted, and paranoid.”News.

They are always right.
Anyone who disagrees with them has been brainwashed by Fox News.
The author is the same Luke O’Neil who wished he urinated on Bill Kristol’s dinner and says Nielsen must be blackballed.
What I have learned from Collecting Stories of People Whose Loved Ones Were Trapped by the Main Stream Media.
I caught that too. Poisonous little jerk.
Where is there to go to receive factual information (or, more fact than not) than to Fox News. If I have changed, it is because I feel more confident knowing there are others out there like me!!
I do ask questions and take most everything with a grain of salt.
Good catch. And he is complaining about the so-called anger of Fox viewers?
My guess is he’s projecting. Lefists always project their psychosis onto others.
Take a look at a picture of this guy..
A less self aware and more self righteous lot has never (sleep)walked the planet.
A delusion of mass hypnosis of dullards, organized by a leadership of semi high IQ sociopaths.
Hence the saying "All leftists or either ignorant or evil."

Yes, conservatives are hard for libs to get along with. [eyeroll] That’s some tolerance for you, right there.
Throw out television. (Cable ). Save the box for movies
TV news is stupid. Radio is it
Douche nozzle
“Anyone who disagrees with them has been brainwashed by Fox News.”
That argument is ridiculous on its face. Fox News has LOTS of leftist nut-jobs on it. It’s just more obvious which side is right (ha ha) when the nut job is standing beside someone relatively sane.
Projecting from a sick, twisted SOB.
For All: We have had 40 to 50 years of Left Leaning News Media starting with the Globalist “Uncle Walter” Cronkite and his lies about the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War.
Mr. O’Neil and the “Alphabet Networks” can kiss my American (Royal-Irish-By-Lineage) Ass.
Am I “angry?” Damn straight. Look at the bullshit the Lame Stream Media heaped on President Trump and the American People for the last 2.5, almost 3 years. MAGA... Trump 2020!
The MSM/Pravda/spin machine is working overtime to get their lies/doublespeak out, nonstop.
Wow, this is terrible. A whole bunch of delusional people living in a fantasy world skewed by a daily dose of Fake News, who are forever angry and uptight about something, anything, can’t take it when one of their friends or family members is exposed to the Truth and takes the rose colored glasses off. just terrible.
