A beautiful read that sums up Fox News​ perfectly. If you have a few minutes use one to read over this. It's a little old but still relevant.

Jason ON As a writer and a news writer at that declaring Fox News as the only guilty party is deceiving at best Jason ON. As a news writer on the subject of misleading it's viewers and naming Fox as the main aggressor disqualifies this article and declares that no (NO) research was done.

What does that leave us with ? For me that the article was intended to attack the writers subject Fox News.

So when this writer decides to show both sides of media fallacy it is 100% disqualified and no better than its subject. Jmo

S rodden, unless you have facts to back a counter argument against a PhD in Political Science, I will have to assume both you and Frosch Polster are just deflecting with the childish claim of: well, they do it too.

Your comment, Frosch Polster, was:

Unfortunately, most of these '14 points' apply equally to all 'news' sources - the broadcast, cable, and internet news purveyors are guilty of sensationalizing and exploiting events for the sake of 'ratings' or 'being the first to bring this breaking news'!!

You therefore made a claim that "all" news sources use these 14 propaganda techniques. That's a very broad claim. 

The PhD who wrote this article clearly demonstrates how Fox News does it, but you jumped on the "they all do it" bandwagon without proving your counter-claim.

My previous comment stands.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
