re: #193 Mattand

That’s one of the myriad things I don’t get about Fox News. Somewhere, someone must have known that all of the “promote only the polls that show Romney winning” was a bad idea. But that conflicts with Fox’s primary purpose: rake in tons of ad money by promoting the conservative POV as “news.”

So they bring on idiots like Morris, Palin, et. al., to relentless cheerlead and then ditch them when reality sets in. I mean, it’s not like they’re going to replace them with people who are more rational. Eric Erickson’s recent hire is a prime example of that.

I guess at the end of the day, you won’t go broke selling this fantasy world Fox has concocted to conservatives who, over the last 20 years or so, have had their heads in the sand.

I guess if people keep supporting a political party that fights evolution, ignores Constitutional law like Roe v Wade, and worships guns like Jesus, they don’t really care about how messed up their only “news” source is.

They’re not looking for truth, they are looking for reinforcement of their chosen belief set. FOX caters to that, and thus gets to rake in the advertising income that goes with those programs.
