The mechanisms don't change, - the images are in color, copy writing is nothing new, assertions of being on the righteous side remain the same - and all appeal to mass fears and hopes and working towards a "learned" consensus in the masses.
Fox is probably *the* news channel in the Western World that can be used as a training sample (tho a poor one) for media people into how propaganda works and what buttons to press to manipulate folks.

What a joke. Fox News is biased no doubt, but so is every other news channel. Go to Europe and see how the media there has steadily moved towards neo-communist propaganda. Look how many immigrants are entering European countries annually for example, and ask yourself why is this going unquestioned even when a very very large % of people are absolutely against it. In many European countries at election time the media completely ignores right-wing parties openly, and states that they will not give any publicity to them.
Over the past 50 years media stations in the West have managed to turn Western nations from conservative, anti-immigration nations into 'multi-cultural', socialist 'paradises'. They have been very very successful at pushing their agenda. When you see a Chinese man of French citizenship being referred to as being as French as anyone else (whether you believe that or not) ask yourself how did we arrive to this point, and maybe than you will be able to realise how much the left-wing media has managed to changed Western society in such a short time.
(and no I am not a conservative)
