Ruth McLeod, the Southern Atheist and Chris Shelton, Critical Thinker at Large, riff on news and hot-topic issues using common sense, skepticism and a healthy dose of critical thinking.

This week we go over Fox News and how Rupert Murdoch has created a destructive cult with this media platform through thought stopping and manipulative techniques to incite fear, hatred and violence.
