One of the main reasons sheeple tend to goose step in complete ignorance of the facts is that Faux Noise, The Republican Ministry of Propaganda, keeps them in the dark. That’s why Faux Noise viewers know less than people who don’t watch any news. Here’s an example of how they do it.
…Fox Promised Constant Coverage Of IRS Hearing While Neglecting Military Sexual Assault Hearing. Fox’s America’s Newsroom aired live footage of the House’s IRS hearing before it began, then stayed live for witness testimony and congressional questioning. When cutting live coverage for commercial breaks, co-host Bill Hemmer assured viewers, "We have to take a commercial, we got to pay some bills here, but we will not leave this hearing." By contrast, Fox only went live to the sexual assault hearing before it started, explaining to viewers, "You can watch that hearing on our website at FoxNews.com. Click on the link on the homepage. We’ve got dueling hearings going on this morning." [Fox News, 6/4/13, via Media Matters]
Analysis: Fox Spent Nearly Four Hours Covering IRS Hearing, Less Than Fourteen Minutes Covering Hearing On Sexual Assault In Military. According to a Media Matters analysis, Fox News devoted 3 hours, 57 minutes to covering the IRS hearing, but spent only 13 minutes, 55 seconds on the military sexual assault hearing. Both MSNBC and CNN were more even-handed in their coverage. [emphasis original]

Not Fair, Not Balanced could be used to refer to CNN who gave the IRS scandal almost double time. Faux Noise, on the other hand, is just extreme propaganda. The only of the three to provide balanced coverage was MSNBC, as they normally do. Of course, that’s why Republicans call MSNBC extreme left wing propaganda. That’s what they call any source that does not goose-step.

We've all known that Fox News is unbalanced (and I mean that in a psychological way) for a long time now. Here's the proof we need that it is a mouth piece for the right.
An excellent point, Lisa. Unbalanced indeed.
The "War on Women" is alive and well at Faux news.
That, my dear, is an understatement!
Faux Noise is a blaphemer in the news department! Faux Noise = Propaganda 'R Us!
Bingo!
Fox Snooze equal talking points for Right Wing / Tea-Bag nutjobs… 🙂
CNN has become extremely worthless as a news source. Last night one of their anchors referred to the NSA as the organization "that was spying on Americans." Interesting choice of tense. They still are spying on us, but CNN is going to support the narrative that there is nothing for us to worry about now. This is a false narrative and this is what happens when corporations control the media. Controlling the public's every move and lulling us into a false sense of security seem to be the corporate goals.
I agree, Angie.
