Can Fox News make you sick?
   Not looking for humorous answers here. It's a serious question.

A woman at work came down with kidney failure and needs a transplant. She takes dialysis while she waits. She can lead a fairly normal life as she has a machine at home and plugs in at night. Now I find out that her husband got her started on Fox News. He listens to RW Hate radio at work.

So my question is: is it possible or even likely that somebody who cannot deal with hate effectively gets sick? Are there any statistics to back such an assertion?

The woman is a total sweetheart and maybe she just internalizes this garbage and it makes her sick.

The DUmp is full of hatred, and by their own admissions, most DUmmies are sick, both mentally and physically.  However, by your own story, this woman only started watching Fox News after getting sick.  :mental:

2. We don't get Fox "News" or National Hate Radio here
   
That kind of stuff is illegal in my neck of the woods (Germany--I'm here as much or more than I'm home).

Maybe that's why the strain on their health care system has not yet become intolerable?

No Free Speech in Germany, and that is what 0Bama wants here.

know a thing or two about fascist propaganda....

And prefer not to go there again.
They went overboard in limiting Free Speech, much like 0Bama and the left wants to do here.

the agenda since the media outlets became p&l centers rather than cost. That said, high motivators are fear, anxiety and hatred toward the identified guilty.

Fox is very effective at this, grinding on and on 7x24 stoking the base instincts of humans. For many it creates compulsive viewing. Feeding on this hatred can be very anxiety provoking for some and others thrive on it... hence, we have tabloid news and to many, including myself, a tabloid nation.

Keeping ones body in a continuous state of anxiety/stress will eventually cause side effects, more prevalent in some than others. To me, I have absolutely no doubt there is a cause and effect relationship occurring in the parties you mentioned. In essence, Fox News is a form of psychological warfare and brainwashing.

Replace Fox with PMSNBC, CBS,NBC, ABC, CNN and  you would be speaking truth to power. :)

4. Anger and stress have been proven to make you sick.
   
It raises your blood pressure and can really damage your heart.

And that is why you DUmmies need free medical care. Not much of a bonfire, but no DUmmie explains why they are so angry and full of hate since they never watch Fox News or listen to Rush.

Fox is available on satellite TV in Germany (as it is in Britain).  So it's not actually illegal in any sense outside of a DUmmies' fantasy.

I believe it's on AFRTS (aka AFN) there as well, or was anyway.

Just knowing that Fox News, Rush, Hannity, et al even exists is enough to send them into unconditional rage....

Same in Canada, just can't get it on cable.

I wonder if they really are that sickly, or just a bunch of pill-popping hypochondriacs....
