How much roughly does Fox News pay in fines for airing propaganda and false information?

I know that Republican Mac Thornberry from Texas was pushing to neutralize the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 that had been passed to protect U.S. audiences from our own government’s misinformation campaigns which is funneled from the Republicans in Washington directly to Fox News.

EXAMPLE of FOX NEWS Propaganda techniques

1. Panic Mongering. This goes one step beyond simple fear mongering. With panic mongering, there is never a break from the fear. The idea is to terrify and terrorize the audience during every waking moment.

2. Character Assassination/Ad Hominem. Fox does not like to waste time debating the idea. Instead, they prefer a quicker route to dispensing with their opponents: go after the person’s credibility, motives, intelligence, character, or, if necessary, sanity.

3. Projection/Flipping. This one is frustrating for the viewer who is trying to actually follow the argument. It involves taking whatever underhanded tactic you’re using and then accusing your opponent of doing it to you first.

4. Rewriting History. This is another way of saying that propagandists make the facts fit their worldview. The Downing Street Memos on the Iraq war were a classic example of this on a massive scale, but it happens daily and over smaller issues as well.

5. Scapegoating/Othering. This works best when people feel insecure or scared. It’s technically a form of both fear mongering and diversion, but it is so pervasive that it deserves its own category.

6. Conflating Violence With Power and Opposition to Violence With Weakness.

7. Bullying. This is a favorite technique of several Fox commentators. That it continues to be employed demonstrates that it seems to have some efficacy. Bullying and yelling works best on people who come to the conversation with a lack of confidence, either in themselves or their grasp of the subject being discussed.

8. Confusion. As with the preceding technique, this one works best on an audience that is less confident and self-possessed. The idea is to deliberately confuse the argument, but insist that the logic is airtight and imply that anyone who disagrees is either too dumb or too fanatical to follow along.

9. Populism. This is especially popular in election years. The speakers identifies themselves as one of “the people” and the target of their ire as an enemy of the people. The opponent is always “elitist” or a “bureaucrat” or a “government insider” or some other category that is not the people.

10. Invoking the Christian God. This is similar to othering and populism. With morality politics, the idea is to declare yourself and your allies as patriots, Christians and “real Americans” (those are inseparable categories in this line of thinking) and anyone who challenges them as not. Basically, God loves Fox and Republicans and America. And hates taxes and anyone who doesn’t love those other three things.

11. Saturation. There are three components to effective saturation: being repetitive, being ubiquitous and being consistent. The message must be repeated cover and over, it must be everywhere and it must be shared across commentators: e.g. “Saddam has WMD.”

12. Disparaging Education. There is an emerging and disturbing lack of reverence for education and intellectualism in many mainstream media discourses. In fact, in some circles (e.g. Fox), higher education is often disparaged as elitist.

How come Everything FOX NEWS accuses Obama of turns out not to be True?

The fox news network has charged The Obama Admin with many things over the years, from Accusing him of being responsible for various deaths.. To Corruption, many of these things turned into invesitgations like ” Fast and Furious”, only problem is everything they accuse him of never turns out to be true, and the Fox News acts like the fact that their conspiracies were proven wrong doesn’t matter.. This network said for 4 years that Eric Holder will be behind bars, the part that is always left out of their Hate stories for Eric Holder is that it was a Bush program .. Which was designed and set in play by the Bush admin.. Why do they always leave out that part

Now the network is doing it again with Benghazi… Should this matter? Or should cable networks be allowed to convict someone on National tv and not have to clear up all the misinformation they spread?

Why do liberal’s have a sick obsession with the Palin family and fox news?

It seems like every other liberal question is either about fox news or the Palin family. The other day they were bitc_hing about Sara’s Alaska show. Now they are bitc-hing about Crystal on dancing with the stars. Tomorrow it will be fox. These people need to get a life.

On Fox News they said the government should not fund Planned Parenthood and all the services it offers?

They also admitted that Planned Parenthood offers other services besides abortions ( only 3% is abortions which are paid by the clients) They do checks for Women’s cancers and high blood pressure etc.
The fox news guy suggested you can get these checks at Walgreen’s?

My question is which Walgreen’s does the Pap Smears?
