 Major Garrett: Fox Polarizes on PurposePosted on Oct 25, 2010
In case this wasn’t already clear, here we have evidence, straight from the mouth of former Fox News fixture Major Garrett, that his ex-network deliberately plays a game of division by packaging its news for a select audience. The now-liberated Garrett, who’s writing for the National Journal these days, tells tales out of Ailes’ inner sanctum on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in this clip from Monday’s show. —KA Media Matters via Salon: Advertisement Previous item: Jon Stewart's Rally, as Seen From Taiwan Next item: WikiLeaks Files Show Torture, Civilian Deaths and Contractor Abuses New and Improved CommentsWe are launching a major overhaul of our comments section. In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread. Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities.

To Repubs voter ignorance truly is bliss and is their means to power and for the retention thereof. A drooling, flag-waving zombie is the perfect voter to Repubs. FOX proliferates and maintains this creature for the Repubs..

This is pretty hypocritical considering MSNBC does the same thing. Every night we get Olbermann and Maddow desperately trying to assure us that Obama will eventually transform into the Messiah.
