My folks came down to visit and celebrate an early Christmas together, so the old man naturally had that Fox News bullshit on the tv the entire time. The amount of brain rot he is dealing with thanks to watching that crap is incredible, and I can't believe how many old folks sit around with that stuff on the tv at full volume for hours per day. It's just as bad for them as social media brain rot is for the kids, and it's sad to see the old and the young so susceptible to the same type of manipulation. I live with a small amount of fear of getting old and sucked into that shit. My dad would have never watched that crap until he got too old to recognize it for what it is, and now they have their hooks in him.
Anyway, about 75% of the FOX coverage was about these stupid fucks mistaking airplanes and drones for aliens, or government spies, or whatever stupid notion will get the simpletons worked up. Are other news outlets fanning the flames of this nonsense too, or is mostly FOX manipulating their older and addlebrained viewership? I don't watch cable news of any kind, so I'm curious if this is something that is being driven by all outlets because it's easy ratings.
