One of the main reasons sheeple tend to goose step in complete ignorance of the facts is that Faux Noise<\/em>, The Republican Ministry of Propaganda, keeps them in the dark. That\u2019s why Faux Noise viewers know less than people who don\u2019t watch any news<\/a>.  Here\u2019s an example of how they do it.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u2026Fox Promised Constant Coverage Of IRS Hearing While Neglecting Military Sexual Assault Hearing<\/strong>. Fox’s America’s Newsroom aired live footage of the House’s IRS hearing before it began, then stayed live for witness testimony and congressional questioning. When cutting live coverage for commercial breaks, co-host Bill Hemmer assured viewers, "We have to take a commercial, we got to pay some bills here, but we will not leave this hearing." By contrast, Fox only went live to the sexual assault hearing before it started, explaining to viewers, "You can watch that hearing on our website at FoxNews.com. Click on the link on the homepage. We’ve got dueling hearings going on this morning." [Fox News, 6\/4\/13<\/a>, via Media Matters]<\/p>\n

Analysis: Fox Spent Nearly Four Hours Covering IRS Hearing, Less Than Fourteen Minutes Covering Hearing On Sexual Assault In Military<\/strong>. According to a Media Matters analysis, Fox News devoted 3 hours, 57 minutes to covering the IRS hearing, but spent only 13 minutes, 55 seconds on the military sexual assault hearing. Both MSNBC and CNN were more even-handed in their coverage. [emphasis original]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Not Fair, Not Balanced could be used to refer to CNN who gave the IRS scandal almost double time.  Faux Noise<\/em>, on the other hand, is just extreme propaganda.  The only of the three to provide balanced coverage was MSNBC, as they normally do.  Of course, that\u2019s why Republicans call MSNBC extreme left wing propaganda.  That\u2019s what they call any source that does not goose-step.<\/font><\/p>\n
