Reading The New York Times with Frank and Jeff B.

 In the lounge at the Tea Party meeting Kadizzle sat down with Frank, and Jeff B. Kadizzle handed each of them a copy of The New York Times. Kadizzle told them it was the Fox News gazette. Soon something that sounded like a steam whistle went off. It was the steam shooting out Frank's ear. He must have read what Maureen Dowd said about the Trumpster. Then something sounded like the loudest fart you ever heard it was Jeff B. passing steam out the other end. Who knows what Jeff B. read, but reality has that effect on Hoopleheads. 

You can read real reporting by people who are journalist, educated economist, scientist, and qualified. That is not the recipe the Hoopleheads follow. Instead they get a goofy idea. Step two is to find someone else who has the same insane outlook on the world, then tune in. Fox News knew there was a market for lies, just as Trump did. What the right wing media realized was the depth of stupidity. Few people thought there was an ocean of Franks and Jeff Bs. 

Go to the grocery store. See that guy wearing a gun, or look at gun man down at the Republican headquarters. Do you think those guys read The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, or watch PBS, the BBC or anything real. Hell no, those guys tune in to Alex Jones, Hannity, or Tucker. Truck drivers eat at Truck stops, and Hoopleheads eat at Fox News. 

The people who deal with reality generally live on the coast. The educated people live on the east coast and the west coast. What is in between? There are information deserts in between. 

Long ago and far away, Kadizzle went to work in Bluefield, West Virginia. It was an information desert. Kadizzle thought he might get a Time Magazine, or a Newsweek to read. Kadizzle searched every drug store, and magazine rack. There was no real information anywhere, but if you wanted to read about guns, goofy trucks, or some other simple minded idiocy the information was plentiful. We moved from a small town in North Dakota. Same thing, magazine racks full of crap, but no material that went beyond high school. 

Go to someone's home. What magazines are on the coffee table, what is the TV tuned in to? The old saying was " You are what you eat". Now think about what you feed your brain. Check out the Tea Party web site. Yes, you are right, you will find reality bent and twisted until it breaks.
