FOX addiction
Is FOX like pornography, in that you can start watching it while meaning not to, and become addicted? Is there a need to protect people from it beyond telling them not to watch--hence making it necessary to cut it off before entering the home? Hmm...
​
Well, I'll tell ya. My 80-something Grandmother watches Fox news exclusively and as a result has a very skew view of what's happening in the world.
​
We all can agree that there is a great deal of debate on a lot of topics, but she's come away from FOX with information which is simply wrong.
​
"Osama is in Iraq" "We found weapons of mass destruction" "Iraq attacked us on 9/11" Those kind of things.
​
You could say she's a little batty, but she's been pushed there by Fox

Re: FOX addiction
I'm not claiming that FOX said those things, though I suspect even a little amount of digging with find Hannity spouting that garbage.
​
What I am saying is that people that watch FNC tend to ONLY watch FNC. It's the only source of info they have. So addictive like porn? Ya.
​
As to good old grams, she's batty. But she's getting these opinions from someplace

Re: FOX addiction
in this case I see a causative relationship as being unsubstantiated.
​
Except that if you ask her why she thinks these things, she'll say she saw it on Fox

Re: FOX addiction
I'm differentiating FOX News (Hannity, O'Reilly et al) and FOX (Simpsons, Malcolm in the Middle)
​
FOX News is force feeding the falsehoods.
​
FOX Broadcast network is much the same as ABC NBC or CBS
