5. Fox TV and 24-7 hate radio minus Fairness Doctrine & Equal Time have normalized this "thinking."

But this abuse of the public airwaves gets little attention any more. Some states Supreme Courts have already ruled that news organizations can legally distort news and even present false information. Fox "News" facts have a dismal 40% relationship with reality. What exactly did we expect when right wing media owners have permission to let Rush, Hannity, Savage, Beck and local right wing hacks totally dominate radio for 30 years without any counterbalance? Those hosts have learned how to talk in code and with contempt about other races and reinforce racial animus in their listeners every day. But we pretend it isn't so bad or doesn't require balance and condemnation.
