ORIGINAL: EternalHoH O'Reilly is considered the 'sane one', compared to all the others in the Fox lineup. Who said they are insane? That would assume they believe what they are peddling. The majority of content on Fox News is aimed at the lowest common denomiator of citizens. Those just happen to be conservatives at the moment. Conservatives seem to make up the truely ignorant of Americans. Someone possessing the critical thinking skills nessisary to be a good citizen, have already deduced that Fox News has both a political agenda and lies pretty often. Conservatives have been 'brainwashed' (for lack of a better phrasing) over the years. That the 'elitist media' is only concern with the 'liberal agenda' and not of reporting the facts of the issue. As such, conservatives gravitate towards Fox News and other 'hardcore' conservative news outlets (that seem to be following in Fox New's footsteps). We see on these forums everyday, the affects it has on conservatives: poor current events knowledge, bad understanding of what is 'fact' and what is 'conspiracy', and 'poor maturity skills'. They behave more like 6th graders, they adults. In every manner, they behave this way. They dont understand President Obama, because he talks to someone with a 12th grade education. Educated people do tend to talk/reason in a manner most conservatives just dont understand. For conservatives, behaving like a bunch of immature kids on the playground is the norm, not the exception. Are conservatives insane? I'm sure a decent 10-30% suffer from some form of mental illness (and they got guns too). Its not that they are insane in the defination sense, but in the metaphorical manner. Their insanity (metaphorically) is simply believing stuff from people who have conditioned their mindsets so totally, as to take what Fox News publishs as 'the truth'. Even when presented with facts and evidences by the mountain loads, they remain unconvinced, because if Fox News doesn't report it as fact, it can't be true. This. As for the OP.....the interview didn't impress me and NO, I don't see racism hiding behind every slight or rude action. I am not denying it exists but I am also not so parinoid to go on witch hunts looking for it either.
