They love Obama, do there you go.

Good quote, but I think the real problem is that it funtions on two extremes rather than down the middle.

You are aware that studies have shown that Fox News viewers are less informed than people who get news from any other source? Doesn't that bother you? Do you ever double check the facts they tell you?

All it takes is enough cash and your opinion is news!

And how.

Media rarely has the time to go in depth on a subject.

Fox, MSNBC, or any other mainstream media take a quick look, mention some statistics, and make a judgement. Wham, bam thank you ma'am. All without offending anyone's sensibilities.

Let's think about the last time we got to see the perspective of the criminal. It never happens, right? It happened once when a white man shot a black man who was running away from him. Otherwise we never hear the criminal's side of the story.

The media gives us what we demand.

Hate us. I do.

Fox and MSNBC are fairly different. Though they still have lots of similarities. They are both patriotic. They report similar news. Their opinions are different, but it's a two dimensional difference.

I had trouble agreeing with Chomsky at first, but then I thought about it.

Yeah. He'd love the motormouth robots on the infomercial news networks and the repetitive noise we are fed every day.

Hahaha

Sadly so.

Meh. I'm not sure.

That's why I thank God for FoxNews. It is the ONLY cable news outlet which rejects that uniformity.

Yes. Not the entertainment "newsish" shows on Fox or MSNBC necessarily, although they are also compliant, but the network news on all four networks reports the same story, right off the wire or from a newspaper, often verbatim and identically.

It is hardly uniform

Except Fox (enter laughing emoji here)

Exactly. I <3 Noam Chomsky.
