51. I think maybe they're just pandering to their racist viewers.

But then they also end up reinforcing those views. It's a bigotry feedback loop. They also enjoy hearing about "illegal immigration", "the gay agenda", and how to control everyone's vaginas. I get the impression they tend to present Black people in the news stories as stereotypes. Either angry militants or gangsters or clowns or "welfare queens". Just an impression, not a research study. I know they do have some Black people on as commentators and stuff, but a lot of them seem kind of phony to me, like all the Fox commentators, they just seem to read whatever they are told and then collect the paycheck.
