I'm aware that this isn't totally relevant to the anti-work movement, which is more often finance related. I hope there can be some level of similarities without the obvious “well, Yeah, Duh,” response.
Fox News has produced controversial and often heated political talking points for over a decade, and so recently I've noticed it become more extreme in this satire as an uninformed comedy skit or using 'scary rhetoric' more and more, compared to news of real journalism. I'm curious what you all would think about Fox News. There's so much finger pointing without real ample evidence as to why. That's why I feel Fox as a money machine more than an informational source.
This post is mainly to give me some perspective by what I'm actually watching in America today. It helps to share some relevant ideas and not be dumbfounded.
1) Why do viewers still watch (and believe) Fox News when there is little reputation given by the greater scientific, academic, and public policy communities?
2) Does the old “American Dream” of capitalism still percolate in Fox, which is perceived by others as folly and/or criticized (in the minimum at least?)
3) On a serious note, what is the background of these Fox News viewers? Are they too proud to reason with the misguidedness of what their information sources are telling them?
For background, I see information of the grander world scope as possible to be slanted, or misinformed. But the talking points of Fox are so often without academic rigor, or density of sources, and them becoming borderline Yes-Men to the Republican entourage effect of Trump.
