People have long known Fox was slanted, but to now have written evidence of it from their own people is amazing.

This is what's known as "manufacturing consent".

Les, This is off topic but your name reminded me of it.

In the '50s, my cousin wanted to go into radio as a newsman.  He wanted to change his name to Hardly Worthit.

The only thing this does is PROVE what is already completely known IN the news and tv business..
but you might be amazed at how many lay viewers really DO think "they're ALL biased in one way or another" as if they're all the SAME.

the only one who actually sends out talking points to its people everyday, saying THIS is what we're pushing today, is Fox. (and the fact that the talking points come from the Republican leadership or the White House everyday only makes it worse, but it's bad enough anyway...)

[Larrchild]

Well, if you, the White House, provides the talking points, and Fox plays them, and Fox is on all the tv's everywhere in goverment, couldn't bad things be going on like wars and hurricanes and you wouldn't know how bad if you were the leaders?

This "closed-loop" technique seems dangerous.
