Propaganda in America is alive and well

If you think Fox News is fair or balanced, then you are brainwashed and I'm not going to respect your opinions. A couple years ago, I wouldn't have agreed with that. I used to tolerate it as just a conservative wing of the media. But they are literally making shit up now, and if you still think there's a shred of actual journalism left with these propagandists, then there is nothing I can say or show you that can change your mind. Please leave. To those of you who still have power over your own opinions, here's a couple examples of Fox's fair and balanced coverage of Wisconsin.

Here's Bill O'Reilly portraying the Wisconsin protests as violent by airing footage of protesters who are not in Wisconsin. Fifteen seconds in, you will see palm trees.



Whoopsie daisy! Honest mistake! Just like when they aired the wrong rally footage to make Michelle Bachman look good! Or when they made it look like Ron Paul was booed at CPAC when he was never actually booed! Or when they took out laughter and applause at Obama's State of the Union address to replace it with silence and cricket sound effects! Or that one time when they showed the Gallup poll that said 61% of Americans opposed taking away collective bargaining rights for unions, and then reversed the results for no god damn reason.





Who woulda thunkit that all these mistakes just happened to help the Republican party!? What a funny coincidence! They should really have a talk with the guy who keeps messing this up, he's such a silly klutz!

But now they're going beyond simply editing footage. Now they've moved on to blatant lying. I can't find any footage of this, but a week or so ago, I saw someone on Hannity say that Scott Walker's budget bill would not eliminate collective bargaining rights for unions. That is a lie. But it gets worse. In their endless quest to portray the "violent" protesters in Wisconsin as something they're not, they made up a story about one of their reporters being “attacked,” “punched,” “hit,” and “battered" in the middle of a crowd. On live television. This should be a huge story! Why isn't the footage being blasted all across the air waves? What? He received a friendly pat on the shoulder? But... but... violent libruls... nazis... socialists... hitler...
