I don’t know if it necessarily causes it, but it definitely exacerbates it…

[nightowlextras]

Im glad i don't watch Fox News anymore. As a former viewer, I can confirm that you guys nailed it. My stress levels were significantly higher and was almost always angry even over the most mundane things.

[Laura_Walton]

when they stimulate peoples worst emotions you cause them to be in a constant state of fear and rage, that can't be healthy

[DeborahLeighMoore]

Absolutely there is something to what Newsome is saying.

[Spilatro]

He is correct! Check out any right-wing news outlet and read the comment section. It's odvious. Some of these people are beyond gone!

[paulkitzhaber]

I was a mental health professional for years. I agree with him.

[AnitaD]

I agree with him especially with the elderly and uneducated. It’s a brainwash.

[jeanwouters]

I have tried to enlighten several relatives, and friends who are Trump suppoters about the truth of Donald Trump and it's impossible to get through to them. All they can say is " What about the Biden crime family" crap. If you ask them what their news sources are it's Fox News, OAN and Newsmax. I truly blame those sources for dividing our country. Donald Trump is truly one of the worst things that has ever happened to our country!

[Sticky-Situation]

Fox is played in countless waiting rooms, cafeterias, even military mess halls, across the country as "real news". How do we expect to reason with their viewers if they are literally living in a parallel reality? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[danihesslinger]

From Europe: please, do not confuse mental illness (often with an underlying bio-chemical problem; or a trauma, ...) with psychologically challenged, undereducated, socially deprived, people who desperately seek some identification figure to overcome their insecurities.

[thinkbeyond]

He is correct and it is painfully obvious.

[nomedigas]

I completely concur with the Governor. It's certainly a catalyst.

[annemurphy]

It's true. Endless gas lighting, conspiracy theories, fear mongering, it's like what happens to people who get into cults. It causes terrible damage.

[thomasstengel]

They helped publicize and legitimize a cult. I think the characterization is entirely accurate. One caveat, Pete Buttigieg should be on Fox as often as possible. It's excellent for the popcorn industry and it never fails to be both illuminating and hilarious.

[carlkolchak]

The military shows fox news 7/24 in their mess halls and gyms. They need to stop doing this on our tax dollars. I have been there and done that.

[christopherwilson]

I think Gavin is 100% right on on hat point.I have watched members of my own family deteriorate from empathetic, caring people into deranged, delusional imbeciles.I guess some of it had to be there bubbling under, but habitually watching Fx has turned them into zombies. May all at Fx fall into hell alive, and may Gavin someday run for president, hopefully in my lifetime.Thank you for all you do David, may you and your family remain safe and happy.

[SCL]

It all goes back to Rush Limbaugh starting in the late 80s.The repeal of the fairness doctrine is one of the worst things to ever happen to this country.

[d.f.]

It does. I experience this with my family. When a person denies reality, has delusional, grandiose explanations for simple human behavior or sequential occurrances in our timeline, denying undeniable truths like science, leading to all the behaviors of people in mental distress and the definition of mental illness.

[CreepyGnocchi]

Hes not lying! They are delusional and its scary these people vote and have that actual thought process.

[graham]

Jessica Tarlov is the only one on Fox who uses facts, logic, and sense in her analysis. And what's scary, Fox isn't even the worst news outlet MAGAs are consuming. Not even close.
