UPDATE:
Thanks to DMAC we now know that Jurassicpork over at Pottersville (http://welcome-to-pottersville.blogspot.com/2007/03/fox-news-at-its-finest.html) created the following masterpiece. If you had any lingering doubt about the propaganda and disinformation that spews forth regularly from the demon child fathered by Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes, just take a look. These are not isolated, out of context, screen shots. These are reflective of a mindset and standard of practice that is truly evil.
As a former Fox News analyst I have some first hand experience of dealing with the beast and have the satisfcation of knowing that Rupert Murdoch had me removed from Fox air for daring to suggest that invading Iraq would be a diversion in the war on terrorism.
The time has come that every thoughtful, informed person should refuse to watch Fox, appear on Fox, or support the advertisers who enable this group of nuts.
Mr. Johnson,
The last image is a perfect depiction of this administration & even brings to mind, the similarities to “Lil Kim” in platforms.
Seeing these inaccuracies [I`m being very nice] all together, makes Fox look as stupid as they are. The problem is that, they sneak them in on a regular basis just slowly enough that the kool aid drinkers can`t see what`s really happening.
It`s like subliminal advertising, which I believe is illegal.
I like it, I really do but you must realize that the problem is simply not confined to Faux News and the myriad of Sean Hannity in full Nazi regalia. An entire industry has evolved around it. We don’t actually manufacture anything anymore so we are left with manufacturing scams that exploit other people.

This for example is simply not a household word is it?

You may of course dismiss things you would not accept but the concept of levels of understanding, acceptance and participation will shed some light on Faux News.
Hope this doesn’t ruin your day!
I did a DKos DIary one Sunday morning on the crazy techniques of (il)logic that I saw on just one hour of FOX. But it goes a lot deeper than that.
One day I noticed that every time a crawl on illegal aliens appeared, a news brief on a terrorist explosion (with horrific video) was shown–complete coordination for hours.
There’s a lot more going on here than a few memos giving the “party line” at Fox. When you really analyze what they do, it’s evident they are hiring professional psych-ops experts to create really sophisticated, partially subliminal propaganda.
When do we charge them with violations of campaign contribution laws? It’s happening, and everyone with half a brain (of course, that excludes a lot of their audience) knows it.
Wow, that`s a good catch. If I understand you, everytime there`s something on a terrorist bombing, the banner scrolls “illegal aliens” or vice versa? So that subliminally, one would connect the two?
That is some sick stuff.
I can’t say “every time” but I watched it one whole day, and have seen similarly contiguous crawls and unrelated–but sensationalistic–video multiple times since then. I regret to say my husband often has Fox running!
This goes far beyond a list of talking points. It takes real effort to create that sort of propaganda. Ask Goebells!

Do you happen to have his #?
I hate to do this but you know, I think I`m just might try a little experiment with what you say, in mind.
I wonder if there`s a place [ not Fox] that has an archive
of the past year, [let`s say].
I was thinking if at all possible that by looking through the archive & picking out certain newscasts[not] that were pertinent to immigration, for example, or a rash of terrorist bommbings, what was the streaming banner, & if the juxtaposition was consistent.
You`d think that there should not be any relation to the main story compared to the streamer.
In the real world, one would assume it would be a random mix. That`s very interesting.
What would your job description be, if your job was to put non-related stories & banners together to fool some of the people most of the time.
