Psychology is a big factor in real estate. It’s also a big factor in marketing. Fox is about getting people riled-up by blaming others (but never the viewers) for the perceived ills of society. Therefore you’ll never hear Fox put the blame squarely on the people who mismanaged their lives and took on those suicide loans.
For you guys on the right, don’t think that Fox is doing you a favor. Rupert Murdock is using you to make money and laughing all the way to the bank. Why do you think that Murdock in fund raising for Hillary Clinton? He needs wedge politics to keep his flock tuned-in. Single issue viewers are the easier to create programming for because you know exactly that they want to hear. Fox built its networks in the 1990s fanning the flames of the Right’s anger against Clinton. Now that Clinton is gone, viewership is declining. With another Clinton in the White House, Fox viewership is sure to skyrocket!
