I detail for the first time the many ways I participated for 14 years as a paid Fox News contributor in secret debate-fixing tactics so that I, the conservative talking head hero to our right wing partisan core viewer, would ALWAYS win the debate over the viewers partisan tribal enemy the dreaded "libtard." This is the first inside no-holds barred look into how Fox News fixed the outcomes of its opinion infotainment programming from a 14-year paid Fox News insider. My hope is the truth will help the recovery process of Fox News addicts and the devastating effect on American families and 60+ seniors that comes from Fox News addiction.

From the estrangement comes constant feeling of loneliness... and THAT brings them up to a 60% HIGHER RATE of premature death and declining health. Fox News Addiction KILLS!
