Customer Reviews
SMART POINT BELOW
-FOX is true propaganda and they r truly changing things. The negative gotcha, wingnut media was created by FOX- bc FOX was successful w/this strategy MSNBC followed & now newspapers want to try it.
--FOX created a virus and put it in the air, & the entire country gets dumbed down. Now, ppl won't believe the news until they hear it from their own personalized outlets. And if it's damaging news, those outlets, like FOX won't cover the story or they will spin it to suit their viewers point of view & keep their viewers entertained, so viewers stay tuned into the money making commercials & create ratings. News is for facts & truth, NEVER Ratings...
---FACT: Tucker Carlson & Joe Scarborough BOTH Hardcore Conservatives & both had PRIMETIME SHOWS on MSNBC b4 FOXs success, proving my point-
FOX created this media virus! (but was it intentional?)
Great talk
Amazing picture, as u said a lot in the media that we see is daviated away from the truth, and I agree that Fox is really not a news, it is a propaganda to the other ppl that spread hatred toward the other ithnicity or religion
Thank u big picture
