How Fox News Sells Fear in a Post-9/11 World

The Republicans have used their 24-hour news channel to generate and maintain a persistent cloud of fear in the United States, which has kept the American public and news media in a state where Bush will consistently be given the benefit of the doubt on all matters of foreign policy and his many crimes and political scandals will be mostly ignored.

It's taken us so long to face this!

Two days after 911,me and my friends said to each other..did that look wrong to you?

At that time we didn't know the patriot act was coming or the Iraq war!

As you dig deeper...it just made more sense of what happened.

We actually had good science classes in high school..and this shit just didn't add up!

@raver14 dude dont worry, im a HUGE conspiracist, i know all about the media and how it controls the masses, i dont have cable for that one reason. i keep my self informed but by geting all the facts, so dont worry i feel you 100% on that one buddy! i was just giving you shit because you said news in any other country and that was a vague commment, cause the news in iran will be very bias but they are open about there bias. but yess raver i agree completley...((:

@TheJoeyzxc That's just the problem. There are more people that WILL buy into their fear than people that won't. And they DO watch it. Ratings prove that. We have to accept the fact that most people are stupid and will believe everything that is fed to them. Sad fact of life. Can only TRY to make them see the truth one at a time, and that could take decades, if not centuries. :(

[raver14]

@santjime That's pretty bias, What about EVERY other country that has news media?

I'm just saying, that we can't trust anything the media says. Especially if it comes from "our own" country. Just as people living in other countries might not trust their own media. ( I'm just speculating there)

Bottom line is we're in the shitter and digging a deeper hole. and you can't deny that.

at 7:00 CMON!!! you preach about TRUTH, but then you give us, the viewers, manipulated stories as well..cmon im tired of it already! just because more FOX news viewers think one thing differently then PBS viewers doesnt mean you can jump the gun so quickly and give sole blaim to FOX, its also who the viewers associate themselves with, what books theyy read, what internet sites they look at, there is much more to it then that. LETS TRY AND STICK TO TRUTH..PURE TRUTH :D thats why i watch
