No one argues that Fox Broadcasting isn't a master at media manipulation, choosing just the right people (no pun intended) of any given stereo type because the messenger better carries the message. And too, they do manage with news and programming to cater to the baser wave lengths of the public as much as possible because it (through no fault of Fox) is an easy draw audience. The argument is that Fox dilutes it's news coverage so much with innuendo, subtle (and not so subtle) coded affronts to the current administration and plays upon the fears, insecurities and limited critical thinking of their viewership who oft times more than not are not inclined to question a talking head.
This was not the critical approach Fox afforded to or uses when a republican administration (specifically the Bush Administration) is at the reigns, by any stretch of the imagination.
Anyone can deny or discredit this claim, but you may want to view a montage of Fox over the years beginning with Bush I and all the way up through Clinton, Bush II then Obama.
See if you think, you're watching a "fair and balanced" news station.
So is Fox good at media manipulation? You bet.
But so was Joeseph Goebbels. So that doesn't say much for the worthiness of their content.
