71. I rarely comment on Fox News, as why encourage them?

But I know that when I have been shut up with an elderly relative, and the only media that is on, blaring away in the background, is Fox, I find that within 72 hours, I am rather convinced of whatever message they are preaching.

When I am not in that situation, I find their spiel to be ludicrous. But the one-slantedness of it, the continual repeating of the One Big Lie, it does work on people.

It takes me three or four days to de-tox from it.
