The parties used to work together, it was unthinkable to not compromise for their constituents. Today we hear politicians talk as if it would be treason to work with members from the other side.
There is no both sides in this either. One side wants to govern alone to their own interests, not those of their constituents.
Fox News Channel was launched on October 7, 1996.
Lol damn you I just googled this to post it.
“The channel was created by Australian-American media mogul Rupert Murdoch in 1996 to appeal to a conservative audience, hiring former Republican media consultant and CNBC executive Roger Ailes as its founding CEO. It launched on October 7, 1996, to 17 million cable subscribers.”
The video begs the question of what influenced the shift in political philosophies, and this seems to mark the beginning of radicializing the political spectrum to either end.
