I don't subscribe to cable TV, so I don't get Fox News at home. But whenever I stay in a hotel, I make a point to watch Fox News to see what it is all about.I am more struck by the ads on Fox News than the content. It is dominated by snake oil salesmen, literally. It is P.T. Barnum on steroids. There's a sucker born every minute.Nutritional supplements, gold bugs (and crypto bugs), get rich quick schemes (for "inventors", real estate "investors", etc.). And then the most normal ads are for home security systems (because their audience is paranoid) and ED drugs (for old impotent men).And of course, $50 foam pillows from Mike Lindell. (Because they all have trouble sleeping at night.)This tells me everything I need to know about the audience for Trumpism and Republicans.
