| Topic | How does one break their parents' addiction to Fox News? |

Like, his point is that the average Fox News viewer has been entrenched into Fox News's viewpoints to the extent that they just have a different belief about what truth is from the rest of us, and breaking them out of that would be like trying to break *us* out of *not* living in the Fox News world. It's hard conditioning to break out of - Fox News knows how to get people really addicted to what they're supplying. His point is perfectly salient to the discussion - I just mistook him as equivocating John Oliver to Fox News lol. this point is valid in itself but i don't like individual sentences like "my whole point is that many fox news watchers/trumpers are just as convinced of the 'rightness' of their side than us leftist/liberal types are." like, i'm far to the left and i'm not at all saying "i'm 100% certain i'm correct about everything and it's absolutely impossible for someone to change my mind." i've changed my mind about political stuff many times in my life. it just rubs me the wrong way that colliding's posts come across as a more palatable version of the "both sides"-ing that corrik always does to everything politics-related. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta ...
