Brainwashing Propaganda, or Morality Lesson?

[Jester]

Having said all that, it has been clearly established by the majority here at the Lurker Lounge that news articles and commentary from Fox News is unacceptable reading material, and not to be tolerated. It is because I have much respect for the members of this board that I will refrain from showcasing their works here on the Lounge from now on. I think we can all agree on this?

It's not beyond the pale for discussion, or "unacceptable" in the sense that you're not allowed to post it. But much of what comes out of Fox is unsubstantiated, hysterical, and spun all to hell. You're probably going to get told as much every time you use Fox as your basic source. If you're happy to pay that price of admission, then by all means, go ahead.

If you're more interested in a discussion of an interesting issue, then you might want to at least find something in addition to the Fox material from a different source that does not share the same biases. That way, it's easier to tell that there's some meat on the bones of the topic, rather than one-sided material that (more often than not) is little but propaganda.
