http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/i-am-tired-of-this-jigaboo-trump-backing-sheriff-calls-marc-lamont-hill-a-lackey-for-democrats/That image in the link is much more present than anything you see on CNN or MSNBC.
I'm posting it because on Sunday I went to my mother's home. She is 90. She is a FOX News junkie. And it's on a big screen because she doesn't see well. And there was John McCain on at noon as big as day and easy for her to see.
I think their imagery is not just about the "leg cam". It's about being geared to elderly eyes and ears.
She also was scammed by a con man on the Internet and con gal on the phone for $900. She tried to keep us from knowing. And she blamed Microsoft when a scammer gave her Mac a virus. She won't admit that she could be conned. Pride.
She steadfastly watches even when I say "Can we watch anything but FOX NEWS!?!?
She is brainwashed.

(14,854 posts)2. The image that I see is a black man wearing a cowboy hat.
I'm not sure what that's supposed to convey.
FOX uses imagery to help sway viewers, though. It was touched upon in the movie, "The Brainwashing of My Dad".
Side note: I briefly listened to Rush Limbaugh yesterday while on some errands, for the first time in years. Here's some of the things that I "learned" after hearing him :
1. Our CIA director is a Communist.
2. Our intelligence community wants to feel "useful," so that's the only reason they revealed the anti-Trump dossier to him. They hoped that would convince Trump to hear their (allegedly) pointless intelligence briefings each day.
3. Our "liberal media" covered the dossier despite none of it being true. Limbaugh KNOWS it's all lies against Trump, somehow.
4. John Lewis is simply a fear-monger.
5. Other garbage that I can't even remember now.

It's awful because once they are brainwashed, there is almost no chance they will ever come back from that.
