Fox News #1 With “People Who Stare at TV All Day” Demographic

 The Fox News Channel captures critical, old, white television market.

Washington, DC — A recent American survey revealed that the Fox News Channel (FNC) had captured the number one spot in the critical “people who stare at the television all day” demographic. The sampling of over 42,000 Americans also revealed that the FNC is also the overwhelming choice of Americans who “keep the television on at full volume so they can hear it throughout the house” population.

“It keeps me company,” said Carrol, Texas retired engineer Davis Punt (69), who says he keeps Fox News on all day because the conservative network ‘owns the stupid ‘libs’. “It’s like having a friend over who likes to yell. It spices things up in the house. I turn it up when my mouthy democrat son-in-law comes over.”

Mr. Punt’s son-in-law, Dale Billings (42), says he is not a democrat, claiming he’s voted as an independent in the past four elections.

“I don’t know what the old man is talking about, but he seems to have a lot of preconceived notions about things,” commented Mr. Billings, who married Punt’s daughter in 2004. “But he watches Tucker and Hannity religiously. And by religiously, I mean it’s like a religion for him. He could use some Jesus or something.”

According to Adweek, the average age of a typical Fox News Channel viewer is 65, down from 66 in 2016. The 3.3 million households watching Sean Hannity’s show on a nightly basis, is just under 2 million senior citizens. As to not be outdone, the average age of a typical MSNBC viewer was also 65, proving that seniors consume a lot of news television. A lot.

What makes Fox News unique in its top spot, is that over 94% of its viewers are white, which reflect the massive reaction of aging conservatives to the tremendous demographic shift to the “browning of America,” as some sociologists have noted. As for the balance of Fox News viewers, 3% are Latino, 2% Asian, and 1% Black, according to Nielsen surveys.

“Fox News is the medium for aging, white America,” said economist Professor James Badwater of the University of Chicago’s Badwater Institute of Public Policy and Game Theory.

“They’re from another age where the TV was the primary medium of communication and entertainment,” continued Professor Badwater. “So, as we continue to hear which cable-news channel is the most-watched, it’s always helpful to know exactly how many people that involves, and what they look like. It’s about 1% of the U.S. population, and most viewers are white people over 65.”

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
