There's a documentary The Brainwashing of My Dad. About how her dad's personality changed from listening to right wing radio and watching Fox news.
He stopped listening to talk radio when his radio broke. watched less Fox news and became a nice guy again.
goes into propaganda techniques etc.
That's fine, but they need to get out of the bubble that Fox has made them lie in, to get outside of that bubble. To get the bug in their head that something is not as Fox claims.
No you didn’t and no it isn’t. This is why we lost The United States. Dolts on social media posting overused memes instead of doing real things in the real world.
Budget documentary The Brainwashing of My Dad the filmmaker chronicled the descent of her father into conspiracies after dialing in to right-wing radio and Fox. When he was hospitalized, his wife tuned the tv to PBS and hid the remote when he was released. He actually changed back to his old self.
I remember in 2016 it was on every television in every doctor’s office some ppl(anonymous )were changing it and hiding the remote unfortunately it’s a trump friendly state so there were many complaints about it the couldn’t change the channel so they had to just unplug it 🤣😂🤪
My brother had both TV's in my Mom's house on FOX 24/7... it brainwashed her into thinking FOX was the only source, and given her dementia, HE ACTUALLY CAUSED HER PARANOIA.
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM FOR IT EITHER, as she is now gone.
Fox News is owned by News Corp which is massive worldwide (Murdoch Family).It is time to let the oligarchs know they do not control the people. We use their products and services in most cases by choice It is time to take back that control and boycott them all X, Facebook, AirB&B, Amazon
It's time to get serious about kicking Fox off the streaming platforms. They've had a tremendous run, and they've destroyed the country in the process by making people more stupid.
Thank God I dont have to worry about that at my parents house. My brother on the other hand I have told directly I will not talk to him for atleast the next 4 yrs until Trump is out of office, & I hope he has to endure everything Trump does.
I need a hacker to hack everyone's media pronto we need parental controls ASAP apparently, we got bunch kids running around watching every illy nilly thing they put on TV thinking it's real.
Watch "The Brainwashing of My Dad", this was how the heroine reclaimed her father who had dementia & an obsession with Fox News. He went into a rehab facility after a health scare & she & her Mom reprogrammed every TV & radio in the house. He stopped his rants & outbursts, became his old self 🙂
This is hilarious. I sent this to my friends and family. My mother for years always made a point to go to the magazine book aisle in any store and flip over every book associated with republicans. Now MAGA crazy.
I pestered Samsung because they automatically had Sky News Australia as an app option on their smart TV's here in Australia. (Murdoch's equivalent of Fox News Down under.) The more people who make a noise the more effect we can have. All the best!
That is brilliant. I wish I had thought of that when my dad was alive. He lived with me and I ended up buying him a headset so I didn’t have to listen to that crap.
I did the same thing years ago. It worked for a couple of years. Then my dad got frustrated because he couldn't figure out how to get Fox News, so he eventually just switched cable providers. I never got the password for the new cable account.
Everyone should do this. I used to have NPR set on all of my channel buttons on the radio in my car…it’s like; go ahead and change station…still going to learn something, or be enlightened to a lot of classical music…
I heard someone use the term: "rage farming" when they were explaining how Fox News works.
The fear and anger get them hooked on watching who "will actually tell them the truth." 🙄
Daily, they get viewers whipped up into an angry panic, knowing that they won't go and fact-check the hosts.
1st they have stuff being told to them in terms they understand instead of over complicated lingo and 2nd they are literally *addicted*. They appeal to the amigdala, aka reptile brain, and get people high on cortisol. Actually FN should be considered a health hasard. Not joking here.
Genius! Thank you. My mother called Rush Limbaugh “the news”. Where did you hear that? “The news”. I knew what “news” because you could hear her car radio through the whole house when she pulled into the garage. This is what we are up against.
Also you need to stop calling it Fox ‘News’. It’s Fox Propaganda. (I don’t live in America but what’s happening there is having huge implications across the globe - we don’t recognise your country any more. 🥺)
I’ve stayed in several hotels over the years and the first thing to do in the room is remove FOX, NewsMax and others…works quite a lot as most hotels don’t get down in the trenches and stop guests from locking down the lying channels…
As a hotel worker, barely making minimum wage, I truly appreciate all the hate-filled complaints and abuse that I field due to actions like yours. Like I don't have 100 other things to deal with. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I too delete channels from the tv remote in hotel rooms. I also surreptitiously change tv channels in waiting rooms and, when possible, block certain ones.
Abolish the church. Organized religion has caused more harm in the world than it ever helped, or could at this point. Practice your religion at home, no more churches.
Get rid of churches, let people practice in their own homes, and stop religion from destroying lives altogether. Religion is one of, if not the, greatest evil in the world, so widespread is its reach.
Back in the day when I had a PalmPilot I used to do this to every public waiting room television that I could. I always changed the PIN from 0000 to 6669
The IR Remote feature quickly had an app that could scan the standard remote handshake and bang you had control of the waiting room, bar, barbershop, or display TV - the trick was doing the editing when nobody was watching.
I used to make the TV flip between two channels & mute it. Nobody cared!

I stand in salute!
Good thinking 🤔
[Pssst, nursing homes, I just heard this great idea...]
I used to block it at my own house before I cut the cord so asshole friends and family couldn't put it on at parties and family gatherings!
and it is

YOU! are a genius!
where were you when we needed your wise guidance?!
