Episode: Episode 95: Corrupt news media anabled by corrupt preachers
Description: Consumerism in everything. "If they pay, give them (tell them) what they want to hear." This corrupted our public discourse and fostered bigotry in churches and bigotry and the big lie in politics.
The latest news about the corrupt Fox News giving their audience lies (which they wanted) rather than truth.
This scenario closely resembles what has been happening in many (mostly evangelical and conservative) churches for decades. Fundamentalist churches, with a significant cross-over in Fox's audience might actually be what laid the groundwork for the incessant need for avoiding the truth.
