'Fox News set up to fuel conflict in US'
 [Iran Press TV] Former CNN Producer Danny Schechter says the Fox News Channel was established to fuel "polarization and political conflict" in US society."You can almost hear the growling in the background as the masters of attack politics go into action, virtually every hour on the hour, on the Fox News Channel," Schechter said. "The issues they focus on are carefully selected by top executives and then broken down into highly politicized message points." Schechter added that the Fox News Channel feels it is its duty to "warn their faithful against political deviations that might lead them astray." Its, however, hard to realize that the topics presented in the channel are chosen based on a strategy of "using emotionally tested wedge issues to politicize by polarizing." "So Fox plays a double game; concealing the most reactionary and partisan of perspectives in the appearance of populism," he noted. Posted by: Fred 2011-06-03 |
