14 Propaganda Techniques Fox "News" Uses to Brainwash Americans

But, the fact that a lot of people believe something is not necessarily a sign that it's true; it's just a sign that it's been effectively marketed.

"By the way, the rest of the media was not blameless. CNN and the broadcast network news operations fared only slightly better in many cases."

"The fact that Fox News is so blatantly dishonest, and the effects of that dishonesty have become ingrained in an electorate that has been been purposefully deceived, needs to be made known to every American. Our democracy cannot function if voters are making choices based on lies."

2010: The Year in FOX "News" Misinformation

It is truly incredible how low this country has stooped to allow Fox "News" to stay on the air. But I guess that the lesson learned by FOX is that liars can lie about anything and if you say it long enough and loud enough people will believe you. Pathetic.
