[QUOTE=Lurklet;33666105]Expected nothing less from fox news.

[quote=section rules]Don't post articles without a source, if it's from a magazine, scan it. If there's only a news video with no accompanying text you may post it.[/quote]

Fox News stole News footage claiming it was some other News? That's old News man.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;33666257]"Propaganda is to democracy as violence is to a dictatorship" - Noam Chomsky[/QUOTE] Uh, I don't really get that quote? Do democracies us propaganda and dictatorships use violence? I thought dictatorships used both?
[QUOTE=Mingebox;33668540]Uh, I don't really get that quote? Do democracies us propaganda and dictatorships use violence?

In a dictatorship, propoganda is mostly used to boost morale.
pooohtunh
This isnt the first time. Remember this: [img]http://www.pensitoreview.com/Wordpress/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/images/screenshot-fox-wisconsin-palm-trees.jpg[/img] That was from the Wisconsin protests earlier this year. Fucking palm trees in Madison in the dead of winter.
I wonder how they think they can get away with this in this day and age. You show fake footage, chances are that someone watching already saw the footage before.
Reminds me of that one time the Fox reported the french protests against the Burka Ban law as being a giant terrorist take-over or some shit.

I posted this and an accompanying article like 2-3 days ago so old
Wasn't CNN just using video of riots in Greece when talking about the riots in Russia last week?
snip
Wow at least CNN apologized
While they're absolutely right that FOX is a piece of shit, a Russian state-owned media outlet [I]would[/I] want to point something like this out. Media is a weapon that can be employed by anyone - not just democracies. Be careful kids - and don't trust anyone over 30.
"Fair and balanced" and "Fox News" shouldn't ever be used in the same sentence.
Oh FOX.
[QUOTE=gokuman4594;33675595]"Fair and balanced" and "Fox News" shouldn't ever be used in the same sentence.[/QUOTE] unless it's used like this: Fox News isn't Fair and balanced
Why are you only going after Fox? I suspect this goes on to a more or lesser extent in most television news media: see 2:35. This is similar to the bullshit that goes on when choosing headlines or spin for written articles. See rants on articles implying huge developments in technology that are merely mentioned by the scientists in one sentence *coughBBC* - the research they are actually conducting is for something of entirely different merit. This corruption, at least in capitalist media, is because the purpose of a news organization is not to report news. It is to profit from reporting.
What smart person watches Fox News anyways except for their inherent comedic value?
Why would actually believe this? It looks nothing like Russia.
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;33679293]Why would actually believe this? It looks nothing like Russia.[/QUOTE] Not everyone has been to Russia and/or seen enough footage and photos to recognize it in shaky 2-5 second video clips.
