Another thing I am 99.99% sure scientists are incorrect about is on the insistence that Fox News et al. has not had any effect on people’s attitudes and political views.

Literally everyone I’ve ever talked to has had an older (usually) parent or relative or friend who was relatively normal during the 1980s and 1990s, found Rush Limbaugh and Fox News, and then went completely paranoiac, deranged, and delusional. Just like this person.

The other day, I was talking to someone at work about how he never discussed politics with his parents anymore because after they started watching Fox News in the late 1990s they went politically nutso.

My grandfather (who was always a Republican, but a fairly liberal Republican) did the same thing.

It’s harder to find people who haven’t experienced someone who has undergone this lunacy transition than the opposite.

Why I don’t trust experts, part million.
