Lileks on the power of Fox News

This from the comment section over at Ricochet:

I still remember the first time I stumbled across Fox news - I went into a fugue state, stood stock-still, wet myself, then lost 48 hours, after which I found myself on the lawn burning back issues of the New Republic. Even the ones in which I appeared. I don't know what kind of mind-control beams those guys use, but they are good. - James Lileks
