Instead of bashing Faux - we should embrace them. They cheer lead the loonies. And if we want the the right to vanish, we need for them to keep doing what they do. I've watched a couple of days worth of Faux post election. (I have to admit, I did it mostly to gloat - but turned out it was more scary than enjoyable.) Patience people. They will crazy themselves out of existence.

This is from The Nation, re: a study recently done by Fairleigh Dickinson University that's similar to the one Dick Day mentions. One conclusion is that Fox viewers know less about what's going on than people who don't follow the news at all.

I don't recall hearing of anything like that.

And I would have to question whether they were angry and depressed people or if watching Fox News made them more fearful, angry, and depressed. Anger is about boundary issues at the core. If you 'believe' you are being taken advantage of or threatened by some 'other' of random definition it seems reasonable that you might feel angry and depressed. And I don't need a study to know that this is a way that Fox 'Not' News manipulates the public.
