Citizenry are enthralled by reality tv and entertainment news. I can’t even watch the ads. Brain numbing nonsense all day, every day. Repubs have pretty much destroyed PBS by cutting their funding and turning them into advertisers paradise. My ignorant (not stupid) brother told his repub rep to defund PBS if he got the chance. Had to inform him that repubs were the reason PBS had turned to begging and constant ads. Ignorance abounds and money buys their votes.
Amazing how so many are totally unable to connect the dots. I attribute this weakness to a turn away from civics education, history education that discusses not just the good but the bad and ugly, and focusing on test taking instead of critical thinking skills.
That's true Jeri. Fox has killed political discourse. I don't watch TV or cable. Never see or hear Fox unless someone uses a program to showcase some idiocy. I'm in that oldster group but lying charlatans and con artists have never appealed to me. Maybe that's because I read banned books!😉
Another oldster who had a bff whose husband required Fox on 24/7. I had a first hand view for their first five years. Pukeifying. Love those banned books, but Foxers these days don’t have enough sense to widen their horizons.

That is true but the oldsters are the most amenable to the Fox crap. In my experience, non-stop propaganda for decades a major factor
