Fox and Newsmax Viewers: Morons or Easy Marks

[Uncle Rico]

In addition to advertising on Fox and Newsmax, Lear Capital advertises on Ted Cruz's podcast and at Trump rallies.

What makes the people who watch, listen and attend these things marks for products like this?

Is it simple stupidity or is it years of being conditioned to be fearful of banks and the government?

They're doomed.

[Pakuni]

Why not both?

[Heisenberg]

It is the way of the world.

One side is right-wing TV, news, podcasts, and streaming services supported by right-wing advertisers.

On the other side are left-wing TV, news, podcasts, and streaming services supported by left-wing advertisers.

The two sides never cross, and each thinks the other is a bunch of morons.

Occasionally an outlier from one side, or another, goes to a perceived neutral site, like, say, a college basketball message board, seeking validation of their worldview so they can continue confidently with their life that they are among the moral and virtuous.

Once they believe they are "right," then they can seek to exterminate the other side, believing they are doing what is suitable for the world. First, it starts by canceling them, their services, and their views. They are also critical and slander the other side's leaders but never their own. And when this does not work in ridding the world of that different view, they then resort to open hostility and violence, arguing that it is "mostly peaceful."

I think we know where this ends ... with no winners.

As someone that lives a moral and virtuous life, I find it deplorable leaders and great thinkers are allowing their customers to be duped into losing part of their life savings just for advertising money.  Sad!

Except they don't simply sell gold they basically sell "collectable" gold coins that cost more than their weight in gold is worth.

In America, we prefer "collectible".
