This is an older article, but felt it was important enough to share.

    When Fox News calls a group of peoples an “invading horde”, this is done as purposely as when the New York Times calls these peoples “migrants”.

    Bullshit. One of those terms is dripping with agenda, and the other simply isn’t. “Migrants” describes the people without making a value judgment. If not making a value judgment is propaganda, then yes, everything is, including “grass is green” and “the sky is blue.”

    Just because two people hold different positions on something doesn’t always mean “tHEy’Re bOTh RIgHt!” or “tHEy’Re bOTh WRoNg!” Sometimes - and I bet you can think of some pretty universal cases - one person is right, and the other is fucking wrong.

    Edit: Oh oh wait, fucking wait. Then the article goes on to talk about reporting on Tiananmen Square being propagandist because a large portion of the killing “ackshually happened outside of the ackshual sqaure.”

    Go fuck yourself.

        I’m not sure why people are getting so hung up on the example that they can’t see the message.

        It makes sense to me. Just because Fox’s bias is showing now doesn’t mean they won’t both be telling you about how corporations getting tax cuts is good for you in 10 minutes.

        Be critical of everything you read, watch and hear. Everyone has an agenda, and it usually involves money.
