How long before the sheep start saying "Americans are brain-washed by Fox News" instead of "Americans are brain-washed by CNN"? Aren't they stuck in days of old, using 20th century propaganda in a 21st century world?

I was thinking the same thing. I didnt pay attention to Fox News for a long time until I started reading about them just dominating every other news agency. So I started tuning in to see what the hype was all about.
The same network that gives you such original programming as World Wildest Police Videos, COPS, When Docile Animals Attack, Simpsons, Married With Children... now give us the news.
I think for a long time, most of the major news networks targeted a more educated left leaning audience... which alienated a vast majority of Americans. Who does Fox target? Fox targets those they are best at targeting, Joe Blow American. The news is dished up fast, flashy, and put forth in a simple enough manner as to be easily grasped by your average American dipshit. Not too much extra info, no lengthy debates by boring ass intellectuals, no boring history lessons. Just simple facts put forward in an easily understood and digestable manner.
Fox nailed it on the fucking head after 9-11. Where were the cattle gonna get their news? MSNBC, those lefty cocksuckers? CNN, those uptight east coast liberal bastards? So Fox stepped in. Give the cattle what they want. Give us the news, but dumb it down and make it simple enough for Sally Sue and Billy Joe to understand. America is under attack by people who hate us, nevermind the historical and theological reasons for their hatred, they only hate us because they are jealous. America is the best, has always been the best, and will always be the best.
What I love the most about Fox is they ALWAYS bill themselves as "fair and unbalanced". They repeat it over and over like a mantra. I watch it while I work, a good 6 to 8 hours a day of it. Everything from their morning shows all the way through Cavuto, Hannity, and OReilly. I skip Cal Thomas that weasly looking bitch.
It is a work of art watching these people work. Finally the conservative right has a voice outside of Rush Limbaugh.
Its all fueled by fear. If you watch Fox all day, I would be scared to leave the damn house. The terrorists want to kill you, the liberals and communists (one in the same) want to hook your children on drugs, rap music, pornography, and teach them how to hate God.
I cant get enough of it.
Fox News. News even your average American can understand.
