Why does Fox News believe that “not like them” is somehow wrong? Being Trump star struck puts you in a special class of dumb in my book. Anything else you talk about is suspect. This garbage qualifies.

There is a Prime Video documentary about an older man who watch nothing but Fox News for ivory eight or so years! It points out that his family grew apart because he became more and more opinionated, hence he would rely on false facts and ultra conservative views.
He became a registered republican after being a democrate all of his voting life because of Fox News!

His dame finally were able o get him to watch other news channels, his attitude and willingness to listen to others changed.

I am trying to find the documentary name.
I view it about three years ago!

Fox News is nothing but a fascist propaganda tool, used to prey on those with a limited world view and education.

Joseph Gobbles would have been able to capture so many under his will with a Fox News broadcasting program!

And they'll explain it to you at great length.

From what I can see, it's a big Dunning-Kruger effect demonstration. They will confidently tell folks why it's the way they claim and no other explanations or serious evidence are allowed.

I'm 66, I never wanted kids and religion was a joke by the time I was 12. Social pressure was why many of my generation married and had kids, it was what you were suppose to do. As income inequality got worse and costs went up not getting married and having kids looked pretty attractive to many. Plus the hypocrisy of religion was all over the news anyone with 2 functioning synapses was seeing the truth about the church.
I really don't care if someone finds Jesus just leave me the hell alone.

A lot of truth in your comments. Never wanting kids made me pretty offbeat my whole life in the family and child-worshiping state of Iowa. Being non religious just added to it. Then being a proud intellectual is just icing on the cake in a state where only about 25% have even been to college. Much easier to fit in if you go along with the flow by having kids, being close with family, loving country music, and worshiping at the altar of college sports, since we have no major league sports in Iowa. Except that would, for me, be like remaining in the closet my whole life if I were gay. Better to be alone and authentic than phony, still alone or lonely, and living in fear of being discovered as a fake.

@TomMcGiverin My saving was at 20 years old, never having flown before and going to Seattle to visit someone I hardly knew. As the plane flew in to land I had the feeling I was coming home. The feeling was so intense and was reinforced when after a month long road trip down the whole west coast I was anxious to get back to Seattle and had no intention of ever returning to New Jersey. It was so incredibly freeing to just be me.
