These are awesome findings. Next I’d like to see a correlation between Cable Services (and the cult news they spawn) that took-off in the 1980’s (old man here :-). People who lived too far from Metro areas could not get good or any TV antenna reception, and so the Cable company’s offered connectivity.
But, initially it was expensive, and all they initially provided was area broadcasts and some low-level crap. They had to be creative in content that went beyond broadcasts: Hence, Cable News was born! Then with competition, it had to become more individualized; more sensationalized; more Faux News!
That content funnel is in part to blame for this; it’s been indoctrinating the sheeple masses for 5 decades now. For those of us who have an education, and who never even watched this stuff (I was always too cheap to pay for what was free in the airwaves already), it’s safe to assume that their elaborate ideas come from only a few source-funnels.
