I'm increasingly of the opinion that old people who become more hateful and bigoted from watching Fox News were always that way. They just hid it much better. Prolonged exposure to right wing media just made them feel comfortable more openly expressing their bigotry and racism.1/

In fact, people who aren't already bigoted and racist aren't likely to willingly consume right wing media. They might bet forced to hear it at work or something, but they don't choose it. There is thus likely to be a large element of self-selection going on. 3a/3

I’d argue that they self select to consume RW media. If you’re not tending way right why would you pay any attention to Fox/Limbaugh?

There is also that, yes.

Absolutely. And it applies to other countries too. Many Indian news channels have been bought over by political parties on both sides. It’s hard to figure out what’s true anymore. But our hate speech, racist violence and cowshit woo is reaching all new heights.
