FEAR & UNbalanced: Confessions of a 14-Year Fox News Hitman
According to Roger (Ailes):
Toby . . . I created a TV network for people 55 to dead, Ailes said.
What does our viewer look like?
They look like me
white guys in mostly Red State counties who sit on their couch with the remote in their hand all day and night.
What do they want to see
After the producers/host scares the shit out of them, I want to see YOU tear those smug condescending know-it-all East Coast liberals to pieces . . limb by limb . . . until they jump up out of their LaZ boy and scream Way to go Toby
you KILLED that libtard!
By careful design and staging Fox News manipulated (and ultimately addicted) the most vulnerable people in America to the most powerful drug cocktail ever: Visceral gut feelings of existential outrage relieved by the most powerful emotions of all . . . the thrill of your tribes victory over its enemy and the ultimate triumph of good over evil.
