Michelle Goldberg wrote a wonderful article in The New York Times today about the insane greed of Fox News and how they have no qualms about lying. Read the article. Frank, Jeff B. have a fresh pair of underwear nearby.
The right wing thirst for delusion is beyond comprehension. Kadizzle has gone occasionally to the casino for a meal. In front of the automated pocket cleaners sit the Fox News crowd. No one wins, yet you can see hundreds of delusional Fox News watchers pumping their social security checks, and pay checks into the automated vacuum cleaners. The Hoopleheads believe something that simply is not true, and they find it both fun and addicting. That is Fox News. The casino knows the truth, Fox New knows the truth, but the Hooples long for the delusion.
The same gang is at the Ponderosa Bible Church soaking up the lies of the Tea Party. It is mana from Heaven. Those wonderful lies, those beautiful delusions hand made for each addicted fool.
At the casino the truth is a simple thing to find. Before you go in to get robbed count all the money in your wallet. When you come out count it again. You will know the truth. With Fox News you just have to change channels.
Fortunes are made selling lies and delusions. Casinos and churches rake it in. Churches have perfected it. Churches don't even have a physical product. The Mormons get the standard 10% for telling a good story, plus you can get extra wives. What does it take for people to see through fraud? Who buys illusions? The hopeless buy illusions.
If you ever see a mathematician at a slot machine give me a call. Somehow high school just does not usually do the trick. If you can count you can count the votes in a election. Trump proved there are 71 million people that cannot understand which number is larger. Clue the biggest number is not the one you get to pick, it is the one with the biggest numbers. Trump lost.
