It’s commonplace in liberal circles to talk about friends and family "lost" to Fox News. There's "Fox News brain", "Fox News brainwashing", and other variations of what I'm starting to feel like is a form of denial. I'm sure there are folks who really have been duped by false and/or misleading information from that god-awful TV network, but I suspect the truth is more depressing. We just don't want to admit that Fox News has merely provided pithy soundbites and new dog whistles to our loved ones that have always believed some terrible things.
