Yesterday I posted, Warning: Fox May Be Hazardous to Your Brain!, about a study done at the University of Maryland that documents how Fox viewers are the most misinformed voters in America. Last night, Chris Hayes covered the story, interviewing Ari Rabin Havt, VP of Media Matters. The video contains numerous examples of Republican politicians parroting Fox lies to fool voters into electing Republicans, contrary to their own self interest. The pointed out that since Fox could not disclaim the message, they attacked the messenger, demeaning the University of Maryland. And they shared my conclusion that rather than a news organization, Fox is a political organization, am adjunct to the Republican Party.

Fox is the Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda. The reason they lie is simple. If they told the truth, there would be few Republicans in office.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The irony of Faux head honchos actually documenting their ignorance just doesn’t get any better than this:

Seems to add credence to the Pew Research Study documenting Daily Show and Colbert Report viewers as the most knowledgeable, while Faux viewers are 2 rungs up from the BOTTOM!

Did you actually expect them to tell thge truth about somnething? 😉
I liked the study that they did (U of M) and this PROVES that Fox is nothing but a propaganda station for lies. I have people in my family that watch that crap; don’t think that this isn’t going to them. And they both have Master’s Degrees – you’d think they’d be a little smarter.
Let me know what they say. 😈
