Fox News, Mark Foley, and the Pravda of the Old Soviet Union


Fox News is a propaganda TV station. It consistently distorts the truth in order to advance the positions of the radical right. With lunatic contributors and analysts like Ann Coulter, one can not expect better from it.

I have always thought that Fox News operates in a similar way to the Pravda of the Old Soviet Union or some state-controlled TV stations in dictatorships of the past (i.e. South American dictatorships). But I have now concluded that Fox News is worse than the Pravda of the old soviet union. Why? Because a trash station like that is watched widely in the largest democracy of the world and because corporate money allows it to have influence in Anerica.

Labeling Foley a democrat is a "mistake" that Fox News likes. And thats why "mistakes" like that happen. They are deliberate mistakes.
