Pretty much irrelevant to this discussion, as fox isn't in the business of making it's viewers happy - exactly the opposite. It's in the business of making them angry, and dead.

Ya lost me with the genetic reference, not sure it's a good analogy.

There is no mandate, and no permission was required. Negative engagement is simply their business model, and they drove that clown car right over the covid cliff.
It's an entirely predictable outcome. If your network is reduced to telling people to eat horse paste to save themselves from a pandemic, people are going to die.

1. Because making people angry is profitable and keeps them coming back
2. They don't much care that their viewers die as long as they tuned in before they snuffed it
3. Sadly emotional manipulation and misinformation are not illegal

3. Sadly emotional manipulation and misinformation are not illegal 1. Nobody wants to be angry. You won't be able to keep an audience if all you're doing is making them angry.
2. They count on viewership for ratings.......but they don't care if their viewers die?
3. What's sad about that?

Some are addicted to anger so you are wrong there
Quote:2. They count on viewership for ratings.......but they don't care if their viewers die?
They can always find more viewers and their model is short term gains (ratings)
Quote:3. What's sad about that
So you're saying it's good to be able to lie to people and manipulate them?
