There are wonderful, kind, and intelligent people who believe Fox is the only news source they can watch because Fox is pro life, pro gun, anti gay, pro military involvement, pro Christmas, anti mosque, and generally conservative on all of the social issues that is important to them. Fox is, to many, a “Christian” news source and therefore the only one to be trusted. To insult their viewers is to entrench them. Just because people hold the views I list above, does not mean they are evil though many liberals and moderates feel some of these views are unconstitutional. Fox viewers believe it the liberals who are unconstitutional.It has been my own experience that by providing information from objective sources that are not viewed as socially corrupt, one is able to open the minds of people who already like you. This is why they are the most watched news channel. In a world where people would rather watch the inconsequential lives of “reality”…. i can’t say stars… performers, the news takes a back seat to some pretty awful things. Too many people feel helpless to make a change and watching pundits cover the exact same topics hour after hour just makes it worse. Fox tells people what they want to hear and conservative pastors and job environments reinforce it.There are many great news sources – NPR, PBS, BBC, the websites for numerous newspapers and magazines to name a few, but even those are scorned by people who are not aware of Rupert Murdoch’s history, some of his co owners, and who refuse to notice when Fox tells a lie they never correct. Fox is a lobbying arm for Rupert Murdoch who is currently pursuing his goals by supporting Republicans who, grateful for his help, bend over backwards to be useful, just as politicians do in England and Australia.Do not be angry at Fox’s viewers, educate them when you can, and be patient with them when you can’t. Respectfully,C.
