Comment on Fox News has a whole generation of seniors brainwashed. by Frank

My wife’s parents and my parents are all brainwashed as well. It’s crazy too because they used to be fact oriented free thinkers. I think all of the fallacies, especially the “appeal to emotion” fallacies have just completely sucked them in. It’s almost like they need something to be angry about.

I think a lot of it also stems from not having a lot to do. Fox News addicts them and then make them feel like they are involved in something important. In reality they are just being manipulated and fed fiction.

What I really like about blog articles is that they spark a thought in my head. And once that happens, I feel like I need to write a comment wishing it may be helpful to some people. Due to the fact there are various personal blogs with many points of view, they question your perception. It’s at these occasions when you have good insignt other people may not have had, together with the blogger him/herself. I find myself coming back to your blogs mainly because you have some really good insights and you happen to be at this a while, and that is very inspiring and tells me you know your stuff. Keep sparking imagination in other people!

Comment on Massive priority shift: Buying a home makes most social networking meaningless by remi

Great post!

I don’t have an old house to work on, but I’ve been mentally offline for awhile now. Even though I spend my work days on a computer, I hardly ever use my computer at home anymore. I certainly don’t use IM when I’m home and I haven’t checked my Twitter feed in months. I spend my work day around people who monitor news sites and social networks so, if something important happens, I find out about it through them.

For me, it’s been about spending more time with Wanda, raising a puppy, and exercising / practicing Kempo.

I’ve been finding it harder and harder to find the time to play with new technologies. I would much rather be sparring or walking the dogs than learning about the latest new tool.

That said, I still greatly enjoy programming and sharing my programming experiences with others. Friends and family come first, though.

Great comment Ted. I wrote this article before Obama got elected, and since then, it seems the network has gone into overdrive with constant propaganda that defies logic. Bill O’Reily used to seem like a menace until Glen Beck came along. Now there is a whole new level of crazy that makes O’reily tame by comparison.

The good thing is that more and more, journalists and other shows are starting to call out Fox on the ridiculous things they say. Jon Stewart just got through doing a whole show mocking Glen Beck and his childish chalkboard ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/19/jon-stewart-glenn-beck-parody_n_505329.html ). The bad news is so many seniors around 65+ eat every word and refuse to believe anything else, labeling it “those liberal networks” or chanting ‘fair and balanced’.

I read an article at BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8474611.stm that made a great deal of sense, even though it didn’t make me feel any better. Basically, the deal with the Fox News audience (and the extreme right) is that they function solely on emotion. Thus when anyone even close to the middle or the left tries to explain something in logical terms, they are labeled elitist or some such other nonsense. In my latest argument with my dad, I asked him to think clearly if each broadcast by Beck or Hanity was explaining things in logical terms or just trying to stir emotion with words like “Stalin”, “Marxist”, and “Hitler”. Of course you know the answer, “He’s very logical. He has well respected guests on . . .”

I think to myself, “How do you explain to someone how ridiculous they sound when they refuse to understand logical, rational thought?

Remember when Steve Martin played a traveling preacher-healer in Leap of Faith ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_of_Faith_(film) ) . That’s the kind of audience we have here.
