Fox News effect

Washington DC

Description

10 people walk into a conference room. Much to their dismay, there is a man lying in the middle of the floor with a knife, buried deep in his chest. He appears to be dead. The police arrive and take each person individually, into a room for interrogation. Nine of the people have similar impressions of what they saw with slight variations but overall, their perspectives hold true to the crime scene. A man was apparently killed, with a knife. One person, however, had a story that was completely contrary to the other nine. He said there was a man writhing on the floor in pain, struggling to breath with a large Afghan style dagger protruding from his chest and screaming for help. It was clear that the man had been attacked by an illegal immigrant because if it had been a black man, they would have used a gun and they were confident that the government had intentionally flown in the immigrant assassin from Nicaragua as part of an arms agreement between the Democrats and the drug lords. The witness also stated that there was concrete proof of the crime in Hillary Clinton's lost emails, currently stored on Hunter Biden's laptop, which was hidden in a secret vault buried deep beneath a monastery in Benghazi, where Barack Hussein Obama secretly ran a slave trade where they processed sausages made from real babies. The police abandoned the first nine perspectives because they provided no clear path to apprehend the criminal and they focused intently on the one person who fed into their desires with all the details they wanted to believe. This is News in America. The nine people who reported what they saw accurately but not what the police were looking for, represent the mainstream media...ABC, NBC, CBS, MCNBC, CNN...etc. The one guy, who created a false narrative to fill in all the blanks the police were looking for, so they could punish those responsible.....well that's Fox News. This is why half the nation follows the mainstream and the other half follow Fox News. People who live in fear, feel better when they know of whom they are supposed to be afraid. This is traditionally a conservative mentality. After all, these folks can't sleep at night if they don't know who's coming to get them. This is also why they sleep with a gun under their pillow....Just ask Mike Huckabee who hocks Relaxium. People who don't struggle with such fear are generally liberal minded and they usually follow mainstream truths. We will never bridge the divide between Conservatives and Liberals while Fox news continues to push conspiracy theories and false narratives. In a nation founded on free speech with no penalty for deception and falsehoods, we may be doomed....of course if we find a way to eliminate gullibility.......there might be hope.
