FOX News can be the butt of our jokes, but remember propaganda disguised as news works.

Some studies in the past few years have shown that FOX GOP News viewers tend to be much more misinformed than viewers of other major television news programs. They also tend to be among the least knowledgeable about national and international news in general.

That's because FOX isn't broadcasting news; it's broadcasting, as we know, GOP talking points. Its purpose is not to convey the truth about events, but to distort information to achieve political goals of the Republican Party.

Despite the seriousness of FOX's participation in the betrayal of America by the Busheviks, if you stand back for a moment, the news network is really a bizarre circus performance.

That's where "Fair & Balanced, My Ass" comes in.

You can take the truth out of the newscast, but you can't take the buffoon out of the FOX newscaster.

From Nation Books:

"Ten years ago, Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel premiered to millions of cable subscribers across the U.S., operating on little more than faith and an unswerving conviction that it could fill a niche CNN and the big three networks didn't satisfy.

We know the rest of the story. Since its relatively modest premiere, Fox has become a force to be reckoned with; by most ratings measures, surpassing Ted Turner's CNN.

Fair and Balanced, My Ass! reveals the sordid results of Fox's rise. A network that presents itself--without perceptible irony--as a trusted news source, Fox might be the ultimate Cinderella story if the characters living happily ever after weren't the ugly stepsister. Examining Fox's phony patriotism and piety, its dishonest crusades, and its well-defined agenda and ratings-driven techniques, this book delivers a hearty slap-down to the jewels of the Murdoch crown, including Bill O'Reilly, John Gibson, Hannity & Colmes, Neal Cavuto, Fox & Friends, Brit Hume, et al. The result is a hilarious and bracing read: red meat for liberals and food for thought for anyone who is both amused by and concerned about journalism's continually eroding standards."
