Is Fox News Brainwashing People?

Well duh! Yes they are. They are an openly partisan hack media outlet. Let freedom ring.

Brainwashing consists of repeating bullshit over and over and over until it becomes truth in the mind of the target audience, and Fox News has this down to a high art. It helps that their idiotic fake journalists believe their own bullshit.

Alexis de Tocqueville called it more than 180 years ago:

All the political journals of the United States are, indeed, arrayed on the side of the administration or against it; but they attack and defend it in a thousand different ways.

Sound familiar? "Objective journalism" is not the norm in a free press.

The facility with which newspapers can be established produces a multitude of them; but as the competition prevents any considerable profit, persons of much capacity are rarely led to engage in these undertakings.

Just as true today with blogs and online media outlets. Any retard can start one, and they do.

Such is the number of the public prints that even if they were a source of wealth, writers of ability could not be found to direct them all.

This is why we see so many bimbos and retards in the media, particularly on Fox News.

The journalists of the United States are generally in a very humble position, with a scanty education and a vulgar turn of mind.

Heheheheheh. Nailed it.

The characteristics of the American journalist consist in an open and coarse appeal to the passions of his readers; he abandons principles to assail the characters of individuals, to track them into private life and disclose all their weaknesses and vices.

Tabloid journalism to a T.

Is the brain washing from liberal news networks any different? What you libs want to do is silence the opposition. Rules for radicals, as well as the communist play book tell you to take over all media. This is what you are trying to do. The only way you can have your communist victory in America is to silence the opposition. Fox News, and every other person who loves this country are here to stop you. Do your worst.

I looked on amazon, couldn't find this communist play book you talk about.

do not watch TV. Do not read newspapers. Do not search the NET.
Do not trust any politician.
Live your personal free life.
You are being deceived in the USA.

"Is Fox News Brainwashing People?"

No, Fox entertainment is a cult, its members predisposed to the lies and idiocy propagated by Fox.

And msnbc, nbc, abc, cbs, cnn are all grand beacons of truth? Lol.

MSNBC is not trustworthy. The others are pretty fair when it comes to politics.

Ok, like dan rather and his fake documents and brian williams taking on enemy fire and don lemon of cnn entertaining the idea of a black hole swallowing the airliner from kuala lumpur?

I don't see how controversy surrounding anchors about random issues has anything to do with how these networks approach political issues and candidates.

 

[Billy000]

Will lefties who have ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN (remember them?), Al Jazeera (Al Gore's creation?) and tax supported PBS among others ever stop whining about Fox? The left is starting to look like idiots.

MSNBC is the only blatantly liberal biased news network on television.

In my experience, only liberals watch Fox News.

.

I've known many, MANY, Right Wingers that know Fox News is idiotic and entertainment. You had better believe there are MANY, that actually believe in Fox News. You had better wake up. There are massive amounts of Americans that think Fox News is actually substantial. Even after fact checkers came in and noted they only tell the truth something like 16% of the time.

I must agree with whoever said it was a cult. It only touches on news when there is some political angle or the item is so big it cannot be ignored. But don't be fooled. There are people who will watch no other news show. They are helpless without FOX to tell them what to think.

.
I didn't know that. You must watch a lot of Fox News to be so versed.

It might be more popular with liberals than 'Survivor'.

Nope. Having a brain to be washed is required. So most of their viewers do not qualify.

Dude, I hate to point this out but it was you guys who not only elected a Junior Senator with zero executive experience to the world's most powerful job on little more than a vague slogan but then turned around and reelected him after he'd proven he possessed none of the skills needed to do that job...again on another vague slogan. At some point YOU are the ones responsible for the mess...

The "controversy" surrounding those liberal newscasters, Billy...is that they misled the public. What's striking about the number of liberal media types who have been exposed as liars is that they all seemed to feel that what they were doing was justified because their agenda was so "correct". It's an "end justifies the means" viewpoint that they seem to feel makes it OK to lie to the public as long as you think you're more intelligent than the public!

And Bill O'Reilly is somehow excused from this?

 

[BlueGin]

You should worry more about liberal media not giving you the whole truth. They tend to skip a lot of news because it's not good for the left.

Or make it up.

There seems to be a separation between Fox News Right Wingers and Right Wingers. Brainwashing weak minds isn't that hard, just ask the Easter Bunny.

How in 2015 is Fox News still taken seriously?

Their entire structure is based on ONE MAN, Rupert Murdoch, who isn't even American. He holds morning meetings to tell his "anchors" what to say and they say it. Then the people convinced Fox News is legit repeat it like parrots. Isn't THAT what the Right Wing fears most? One man with too much CONTROL?!

The Fox News political followers are the easiest to debate with but they always think they win. All they do is insult and they think they won a political debate. How and why is that? The brainwash.

One of the very basic steps of making a cult is not to allow outside information. Because if the people learn outside of that structure, they might leave. I've openly heard Fox News discuss the topic "How long have you went without listening to Obama talk". Not that Obama is Leftist, but how is that informing yourself at all? Why was it praised for the person who went 6 months without hearing something Obama said? How does that make you smart? It doesn't, it's just patting the cult brainwashed on the back.

Fox News is so popular because it tells their viewers exactly what they want to hear. They don't bother much with facts and context because that would actually challenge viewers to think critically. They aren't smart enough for that. All they want to hear is anti-government, no taxes propaganda because it taps into their passionate emotions. It makes them feel validated about bullshit they already believe. Republicans are heros and Obama is a communist - there is no inbetween. That's how simple minded this network is.

You sum it all well Billy. Fox News is owned by republican run by republican. So they can say whatever they want. They tell you the truth of technicality but the truth of reality. I made several comments on this site regarding fuck up news I mean Fox News. Also some members here on this site making comments like they work for fox. I did asked them directly but got no answer. My golf buddy is a political science professor at UCLA for 18 years. He guarantee that there will be repercussions for this. He already witnessing the anger from his students how they manipulate and brain washing people. Luddy a member here mentioned fox is an entertainment.

Fox News relies on low educated people who think getting mad is the answer to solving a problem. Crazy thing in political discussions, getting mad won't win a debate.

Funny how Fox has WAY more viewers,than any of the other networks,yet all those people are idiots in your mind??
Says much about you.

Justin Bieber has WAY more fans than most of the greatest musicians/singers on the planet.

I guess that makes you are a Belieber, right?

The only reason you think it is honest is because it only validates the rightwing bullshit you have always believed.

lmao. Fox's viewers are liberal too- a lot of them! Libs got brainwashed by the msm the last 50 years. The schools brainwash young kids every day of the year to vote lib.

And yet, it has been scientifically proven that Fox viewers are less informed than anyone...including Daily Show viewers...or even those that watch no news at all!

 

[Synthaholic]

Why do you think Dictators and Communists don't allow competing viewpoints?

Neither does FOX.

 

[Dragonlady]

Surveys have routinely found that Fox News viewers had the least amount of knowledge of new and current events of any segment of the population. People who don't read newspapers or watch TV news had a better grasp of recent current events than regular Fox viewers.
