Brainwashing Propaganda, or Morality Lesson?

[kandrathe]

FOXNEWS, is a sh1t sandwich. It's filled to the brim with all kinds of fecal matter, with some bread on either ends so it can technically proclaim itself as a sandwich, and therefore a legitimate food product.

Now, add the other networks NEWS programs as well. Journalism is dead.

During the 60's, 70's, and 80's the icon's of American Media struggled to present and image of unbiased news reporting. After the advent and popularity of cable TV, and the internet the plummeting dominance of "The Networks" resulted in a rush to sensationalism and a great loss of professionalism. The 24 hour news only format of CNN resulted in a rush of unfinished, poorly researched detritus being pawned to us as news. Worse yet, erstwhile credible sources manufactured fake "events" as news. I believe that if you check the watchdog organizations that the bias did exist, and the American media has been complicit in intentionally shaping political thought. The 5th estate is now a 4th column that sold out, and yes, Rupert Murdoch is cashing in, as is Ted Turner, Disney, Viacom, General Electric and a handful of other media moguls.

Keith Olberman is as big a loud mouthed propagandist as O'Reilly, or Hannity, or Beck. Then there are the quiet ones, who are just propagandists. There is no longer the pretense of presenting an unbiased view, and perhaps it was a fantasy to believe that a person could ever collect the facts and report them without applying a slant to one direction or the other.

So, before it was subtly slanted biased reporting, but now it is blatant factional propaganda.
