Exactly. When my dad started watching Fox News I had conversations with him about what they said and how he taught me to question things that were printed in the paper or said on TV. He stopped watching. And when he was around others who watched, he had that conversation with them.

My stepfather was a socially liberal fiscally conservative type in the late 80s and early 90s and by Obama's administration he, a lifelong pacifist who was extremely leery of guns, had a pistol, a concealed carry permit, and his new wife did too all bc Fox convinced them Dems were comin' for guns.

And I'm being really kind and censorious of what Fox actually convinced them of. Maybe read between the white piano keys to see what who was "coming for your guns."
