How big is the FOX Bubble?

[kentuck]

Murdoch and FOX executives believe that their viewers are loyal to FOX and Trump and that all other "news" networks are "fake news".

If they do not mention the defamation suit against them or the lies that their hosts told repeatedly, then their viewers will have no knowledge of either ever happening. Everything will remain the same in the "Bubble".

But how many people are in that bubble? Is it big enough to win another election? Or is it just big enough to destroy our democracy?

What is the difference in the FOX Bubble and the other networks so-called "fake news"? The "Bubble" wants to restrict what information is received by their viewers and despite the criticisms of the mainstream news media, they do not operate from a bubble, with the intent to strictly control the information received by their viewers.

1. between 10 million and 25 million

roughly 1 in 10 adults. There are many more in the "bubble adjacent" category meaning that they hear from a friend some BS that is spewed on Fox... and they believe it. This makes up a majority (but maybe only 10% majority) of the repuke party. I've seen these numbers someplace but can't find the source now.

2. Not big enough to beat Democrats and Independents

who think for themselves. IMO. We slowed them down this time, next time we beat them down for good.

3. It's frothier than Rick Santorum

At some point the air is going to come out of their tires.
