Precisely, and the last election identified 63 million airhead Americans who have embraced those lies.

(20,998 posts)...for the brutal, partisan rancor infecting every aspect of our Country and way of life. The most heinous thing about Ailes is that he didn't necessarily subscribe to the conservacrazy, Faux mindset, but had no trouble peddling it to the politically naive and gullible for profit. Make no mistake, Ailes was the American Goebbels.
Rot in hell you bastard.

(20,998 posts)...Atwater and Ailes laid the groundwork, they charted the belief path. Atwater and Ailes figured out how to tap into the McCarthy mindset and make it look legitimate and even PROFITABLE.

(16,786 posts)Which is why I admire and respect Joy Reid so much. Her opinions are backed up with facts. She is blunt to the point of obscene. She makes people on the wrong side of an issue so uncomfortable, they have to hide.
