During the Facebook whistleblower testimony, it was revealed that FB deliberately ramped up the hate and anger because it generated more traffic than simply letting people talk about their kids or the good ol' days.
Fox News realizes the same thing; hate generates viewership. Viewership generates advertising revenue. A key example is Mike Lindell; he's very pissed that Fox came out against him in on his election lies, but Mike needs the advertising. Who else can he go to? CNN? MSNBC? LOL
Agreed on feeble-minded, but most of the problem is ignorance. A lack of education. The greatest fear of all is fear of the unknown. Education reduces those fears which is why there weren't a lot of college graduates at 1/6. Most had mental issues and/or were undereducated/ignorant or just stupid (lower than average IQ). While I agree with Ron White that we "can't fix stupid", we can fix ignorance with better education.
