Yes I know I am getting lazy with the posting, but when I came across this little ditty I just could not help myself........I need help........no I don't....... I was just kidding.
Randy Reynolds, a Canadian, writes a column “Addicting Info.” His recent article called “Understanding The History And Purpose Of FOX News,” appears to take a Canadian point of view and opens:
You’d think a thing like FOX couldn't happen in the United States. Although they’re free to be crazy and free to support the Republican Party, you’d think Americans would be too smart to fall for the made-up outrages, dishonest reporting and relentless appeal to our meaner nature. Unfortunately, many Americans are not as smart as we used to assume: a huge swath of Americans (especially elderly white Southerners) believe FOX is just another news media outlet. They aren't.
What is FOX? Pensitore Review (8-18-09) pulled no punches in answering that question: “ FOX News is indisputably the most popular cable news channel. And yet in 13 years, Fox has never broken a story. That’s okay, because it is not in the news business. It is in the news-shaping business. Its programming is an admixture of right-wing propaganda and fear-porn for feeble-minded paranoiacs, served up by spokesmodels who have no clue what they are reading.”
