I forget to past my text. Are you kidding me the first time I watched Faux News Chanell I said the first hour "well this is a right wing chanell what the hell do they mean fair and balanced. never the less I watched Faux every night from 2000 to sometime in 2004 even though I had an urge to take a baseball bat to the screen listrening to Bill O'Reilly. Every night I watched Hanity and colmbs. Hannity the staunch handsome all American boy and the wimpy lefty Colmes. I've seen every one on your list but Here is a list of the opinion manipulating tecniques Faux uses to brain wash their viewers. I would watch Faux propaganda in awe thinking Joseph Goebbels would greatly admire the brain washing tecneqes Roger Ailes employes on this chanell.

I'll tell the story one more time. I started getting the daily digest emails. I don't know why. After a few days of reading some of the comments I got, shall we say, a bit riled. The original intent was to jump on, make some comments in rebuttal, and ride off into the sunset never to be seen again as it were. The moniker just popped into my head more as a gag and to see if anybody really even got it. Well, I sorta got hooked I guess, as I am still here. So...change it now? I've thought about it, but on the other hand, it's a great tool to see who is going to prejudge isn't it?

1. Shut up (Fox hosts such as Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly telling interviewees to be quiet)

2. Polling & graphics (i.e., the American f**g as a backdrop or the Fox News Alert or the graphic, "Fair and Balanced) -- see graphic below

3. News, commentary & ad libs (off-the-cuff comments that support the Fox point of view and which receive positive reinforcement from management)

4. "Some people say" (inserting Fox-oriented opinion by using a vague phrase of attribution -- also used, "some say" or "a couple people say," etc. --where no source is named)

5. Use of experts (similar to 3rd-party advocacy as a PR technique -- Fox primarily uses experts that reflect its stances)

6. Operation character assassination (use of attack politics -- mirroring the administration talking points during the G.W. Bush administration -- against newsmakers with a different ideological view)

7. Fox liberals (using unknown and weak conservative or moderate lilberal commentators opposite strong Fox hosts)

8. Guests ( relying heavily on conservative guests -- for example, FAIR statistics showed five times as many Republicans as Democrats on Sean Hannity's program.

I've never had a handout in my life and never sought one I have had some kind of job sconce I was 9 years selling news papers on the side of a corner bar to cutting apricots. This country was nasty until the rise of the progressive era in the late 19th century early 20th century. Everything that's good in this country is due to progressives in both the Democrat and Republican Party. Yes there used to be a progressive wing and a moderate wing of the Republican but they became extinct like the dinosaurs. The far right began taking over that party 30 years ago and trhere nothing but batr s**t crazies in that party.

Hitler did give eugenics a bad name.

But today, we have eugenics in reverse-unfit parents having more and more damaged children while responsible parents having fewer and fewer.

The cost of raising a child today has led to a decrease in reproduction by those responsible enough to consider it and more children from those who are happy to let someone else pay the bills.

Pretty soon we're gong to have a nation of undisciplined half-wits unable to contribute anything to society. Eugenics in reverse.
