Google to your content; there is no hard and fast number.

In the village where I went to high school, the misinformation gets passed around by mouth at the tractor pulls, monster truck shows, and nudie bars.

But what is that number? Just the number who tune in for the Fox news session, the number who watch a specific opinion show, or what? I am pretty certain it is only the number who watch at any given time, not the total number of watchers. Then add how many go to the Fox website for news, just like I used to usually go to CNN's.

Many of their propogandists pundits also have podcasts.

TV + Internet + Radio, amplified by Family/Friend/Church echo chamber
Something for everyone.

Considering Trump took direction from one o their 'pundits' I would say.. huge influence.

I was in a tavern this morning and the owner had Faux Business on.

Actual financial news mixed with the normal Faux b.s.

A couple of speakers were blathering on about the ‘Biden-Powell’ interest rate hikes.

One presenter did acknowledge the fact that rising inflation/interest rates disproportionally affects those on the lower end of the economic spectrum.

Then he had a guest on that was calling the Fed “communism”.

They told to friends, and they told to friends, and so on and so on...


Regardless of what the actual numbers are, word of mouth among like minds, especially if those minds feel 'wronged', is feeding a fire with gasoline.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Perhaps they are so influential because they have more primetime viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined. There are relatively more people watching Fox News than the others.

Not “News.”

Does that count every public TV in lobbies, bars and waiting areas in the country? Seems to be ubiquitous there.
