It's very rare that I see Fox or MSNBC. However, each time I do, I am shocked to see how much further they have descended into madness.

If you want to take the full on hit of acid pay serious attention to the ads. Ads on Fox are an acid-tripping throwback to late-nite 90's TV. You can tell everything about the targeted demographic by watching the ads. Fox news was all walking aides, medicare assistance, BUY GOLD, and other old people concerns. I can't imagine they get a high rate on these ads.

The other TV I saw while home with my parents was almost all exclusively targeted at women. Watching NFL, I saw truck ads, and some Old Spice, but that was it. I even went looking for ads that are typically focused on men (trucks, cars, outdoorsy-stuff, Men's Health products etc) and the only place I ever saw them was during NFL.

And when did free to play mobile games get advertising budgets? Ads for free mobile games were everywhere.
