(10,493 posts)The 38% that support/approve Trump watch Fox and listen to only RW sources. That is the problem! The Republican base would abandon them without Fox and RW radio propaganda. They would understand they are being used.
Instead, they are being taught that the rest of the news is propaganda and not to be believed. They have been steeped in anti-Clinton/Obama propaganda spittle flies from their mouths when they are brought up to a conservative. Many RW people I know will swear angrily that Obama was the worst President of all time even though they cannot name specifically why. That is because every story Fox and RW radio would broadcast would be negative, nothing positive at all.
We have to require truth in news somehow. There must be repercussions to knowingly spreading lies. Fox has gotten away with it in the courts by claiming they are "entertainment", not news.
