Fox News, Fox Schmews

I just can’t sit here and stay quiet about this any more. I’ve been reading around the interweb about Fox News a lot lately, and what I’ve discovered, may shock and not surprise you. Check out this page on The Huffington Post. It clearly depicts a Fox News INTERNAL memo stating:

“Be On The Lookout For Any Statements From The Iraqi Insurgents…Thrilled At The Prospect Of A Dem Controlled Congress”…

The sad part about this is not the obvious one, its the fact that this shows one of two things. Either A.) Fox News actually believes the extremist, right-wing propaganda that they spew out every day, or B.) they understand exactly what their doing and playing to the hype of the “old-folks” and traditionalist mindsets that are holding our country back. I know this is a tech blog, and I know this post is still heavily biased, but even the most conservative of minds can understand that this memo was written for a specific purpose. It is also (one can assume) one of dozens sent out every week. I don’t know the answer, but the question is simple: When are we going to wake up, see things for what they really are, and discover the truth?

    It fits their MO, to a “T.” Roger Ailes used to be Karl Rove, so yes, Fox NC exists for one reason and one reason only: agitprop.

    Sure, you can argue that CNN or MSNBC is biased — and that’s an argument for a whole new day — FNC isn’t biased because it’s not media. It’s an arm of the right-wing political bloc.

    From a strategy standpoint, eyeballs mean votes. So, they’re working to get eyeballs back by playing the fear card.

    FNC wouldn’t exist, though, if the real media was doing it’s job and looking more closely at a range of topics from how people are over-burdened at work, underpaid, and drowning in predatory credit. Of course, those issues would reflect poorly on corporate America.

    Other than CNN’s Lou Dobbs, whose seemingly suffered a head injury and become a populist, no one is really shedding light on the issues that are making average Americans miserable.

    I’ll give Kate’s show a try. She might be a little “rough” at first, but as each episode goes on and she gets comfortable, I think she’ll do a really good job.
