The thing is, Fox News' bread and butter comes from telling its viewers what they want to hear. That said, the sort of viewers they want to attract are a very peculiarly American phoenomenon, the kind who think government-related health care is an abomination that should not be allowed to exist and that absolutist stances on gun ownership should be the default throughout the world. These views, as common as they are in America, are very much the minority in Europe; particularly with regards to Health Care. I can remember a couple years ago asking if what countries' conservative parties were closest in ideology to the Republicans. They said the Spanish, Polish, and some of the more priest-ridden Catholic countries came closest, but the strong theocratic bent and especially the health care issue would alienate everyone. Is there ANY meaningfully popular European political party who thinks their socialised health care systems should be dismantled and replaced with an American-style system?
"Priest-ridden". I like that. Sort of like "hag-ridden".
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
