Do Racists Like Fox News, or Does Fox Make People Racist?

[wvit1001]

Do media and racial polarization reinforce each other? Is there a connection between news media viewing habits and attitudes about racial equality? Based on an analysis of the American National Election Studies 2012 dataset, we find that white respondents who regularly watch Fox News are more likely to express attitudes of symbolic racism and racial resentment. This is especially true of those Fox News viewers who live in the South.

One common expression of racial resentment is the stereotype that black people have disproportionate influence over the levers of power. Though people of color are far more likely to live under an unrepresentative city council and have far less influence over policy, many racist whites wrongly think that government disproportionately benefits non-whites through social programs.

Our analysis suggests that regular Fox News viewers are more likely to hold such opinions, even after controlling for other factors such as individual race, age, income, education, partisanship, ideology, religiosity and geography. In the graph below, we compare conservative white Republicans who watch Fox News regularly to those who do not. The results show that regular Fox News viewers are significantly more likely to think that blacks have too much political influence. Those Fox News viewers who live in the South are the most likely to hold such attitudes.

There is a film, 'The Brainwashing of My Dad' that does a great job talking about the impact FOX News has and how it was allowed to happen.

" As filmmaker Jen Senko tries to understand the transformation of her father from a non political, life-long Democrat to an angry, right-wing fanatic, she uncovers the forces behind the media that changed him completely: (a) a plan by Roger Ailes under Nixon for a media takeover by the GOP; (b) the 1971 Powell Memo urging business leaders to influence institutions of public opinion—especially the universities, the media and the courts; (c) the dismantling of the Fairness Doctrine under President Reagan in 1987; (d) the signing of the Telecommunications "Reform" Act under President Clinton in 1996.

Not sure about racist.  I think Fox News does make it's listeners out to be liars.  The listeners will repeat everything Fox News broadcasts...

The only racist I have ever met have been democrats and democrat supporters and those that call themselves african american. We are privileged to have two of the biggest racist and race baiters on this board  and number 1 is hoosier the ho and number 2 is wvit, the socialist, there are  few more leftist that could be included but they don't push racism and bigotry like hoosier the ho and wvit the socialist.

Yeah right, DBM.  If you say so.  Those Democrats you met thought you too were a racist, that's why they met you in the first place...

the same lying ass piece of shit racist bitch blammie who has said this here on this board- (even without the sickening hillbilly racism, his posts are so useless and garbled...it is like having to listen to a drunk redneck spewing hate at the tv in a bar if it shows a black person or a latino.  just crazy, hate-filled bullshit because he somehow realizes what a loser asshole he is and is bitter about it and blames minorities and democrats and his betters in general.)

By your post jw2 we know that blue lives don't matter to you and your people if they're white. A black man in a police uniform is viewed as a white man's token or a house ****** in uniform.

ust remember Oscar LaVagina there your traitors fighting to save their way of life and their beliefs they are your democrats of yesterday, but not near as corrupt as your democrats today, you really believe obama was a president and not a democrat token, a house boy, used to try and show they've changed and no longer racist, well think some more.
