Study: Fox News Propaganda is Hugely Influential

[vilememory]

This is all the justification I need to implore the government to have everyone at Fox News brought up on charges of high treason. The network shut down and all assets seized, liquidated, and the funds used for social programs for inner cities.

[Vatrilian]

Yeah it was totally her campaign that pushed voter ID laws while doing things like removing DMV's from majority minority areas or saying government housing ID wasn't acceptable ID.



Damn you Hillary! First socialism, then making me stub my toe, now this!

If you don't campaign in the state it can be hard to win. Believe it or not black people have drivers licenses and function in society.

[Nitros14]

I mean the Nazis, Chinese and Soviets could all tell you that state propaganda news outlets work very well.

America is unique though because Americans willingly subject themselves to purely propaganda news outlets. In totalitarian countries it's your only option.

They are calling themselves democrat socialists. They are for the elimination of private healthcare in this country including making it illegal to have private health insurance. They are for tax increases across the board including tax on already taxed capital. They are for a 95 trillion dollar green new deal that seeks to abolish fossil fuels and air plane travel. They are not the party of John F Kennedy anymore.

They're calling themselves social democrats. Which means liberal with welfare state to a certain degree. You know Democratic Socialism is not equal to Social Democracy, you're saying things in bad faith.

[Sky High]

honestly, I wouldn't care that much if the shit heads who make up the top brass of that "news" organization weren't unofficial WH employees.

[VanishingAct]

I mean this is how you can tell who doesn't watch Fox news. The leftists here would be quite surprised if they just left the channel on as they go about their shit.

[Th3Scourge]

How does Fox differ from any other mainstream media outlet? They're all garbage, at least I can get some entertainment value out of Tucker Calrson

[Dendrek]

Imagine how terrible the democratic candidate must have been if such a pathetically bad TV channel can influence viewers to vote against her. If only the dems would avoid making this mistake for the second time in a row.

Imagine how terrible the Jews must have been if propaganda successfully...

Pretending propaganda isn't an effective and dangerous tool is short sighted.

[Dsonsion]

What?

Liberals and social democrats are worlds apart ideologically.

When you add real left and far right wing ideologies to the scale, you see how close to one another they are. SocDems are liberals with a little extra welfare state so that life is a little more bearable. They're liberals because they believe in the market and they don't want to do away with capitalism, while Democratic Socialists do.

Yes, they'd be surprised at how much bullshit that channel spews while easily swayed idiots are convinced how not easily swayed they are.

Fox news is and has been a laughing stock for a long time now. It's almost pathetic that there's a group of Americans who now go to it as a serious news source. I miss the days when people had half a brain and laughed at it and disregarded it as the nonsense it is.

[Mormolyce]

yeah, and CNN/MSNBC created a culture of fear and racial segregation on the left. American MSM sucks: news at 11

Not even close. Those are just regular shitty commercial news networks.

- - - Updated - - -

Fox News IS a propoganda machine. and I hate it for that. So is CNN, MSNBC, RT, Aljazeerah.

Those are not equivalent.

[Mormolyce]

Yes they are. You can’t see it if u’re biased towards any of them. I have caught bullshit from all of them and seen them promote their propoganda constantly.

No news agency is perfect but that is a huge range of levels of accuracy and reliability in that post.

[ellieg]

Ahh it's another gen ot "Republicans are bad and fox is the worst thing ever" thread. I often wonder if the people in this thread know what a mirror is much less own one.

[Freshouttajail]

What I like about this world is that there is absolutely not one person and not one media network pushing leftist agenda/propaganda either.

Not one. It's amazin

[Draco-Onis]

CNN is now much worse than fox news. This happens every time a republican is president. Same thing with fox when obama was president.

But that's not even remotely close to reality, CNN is only after ratings they ran Trump rallies non stop when he was running he was calling them on air almost every other week during the campaign and his surrogates all over the network. Trump did CNN a huge favor by focusing on them before this they were the butt of all jokes for liberals. Even today CNN is nowhere near Fox the closest would be MSNBC but for some reason that flies under radar.

[durenas]

So this is what it's like when someone pulls out the obvious and trumpets it around for everyone to see. I'm so sorry.

[Uncle]

And meanwhile, no one speaks about CNN who is way worse than Fox News, all is good in America.

I think the lacking word is: ethics.

Maybe journalists could learn something from that word...

[Draco-Onis]

And meanwhile, no one speaks about CNN who is way worse than Fox News, all is good in America.

Remember that time when CNN put this guy on air that talked about shooting the president and his family? how about the time when that CNN anchor was defending a pedophile? oh I know how about that time when CNN lost tons of sponsors due to racist statements made by their "personalities"?

you're delusional.

[Bodakane]

I was actually more preoccupied with the comment section, as I don't trust the Fox hosts to be honest, although I do admit they treated Yang and Tulsi decently enough. My theory is that as long as you don't go full blown socialism and are mostly discreet about social/cultural stuff, Fox might embrace you.

By the way, the comments for Yang are also quite positive.

So, in your estimation a good Dem politician is one that keeps liberal ideologies on the down low?

Tucker Carlson is probably the most reasonable out of all of them. I wouldn't listen to Sean Hannity, Laura Ingrahm, or Judge because they are actually propaganda. Chris Wallace and the other regular day time reporters are generally all normal. People just see the entertainment shows at night to determine foxs news credibility. On MSNBC there is Rachel Maddow who's a joke and Chris Cuomo and others on CNN. If you only watch talk shows you will get whatever propaganda that host wants you to hear.
