Robert F. Kennedy Jr: Fox News Has Divided Country In A Way Not Seen Since Civil War

101. Hear, hear.

I wish that were so too. If we all recognized that our media was the voice of our oppressors we would better understand what they say.
When I watch television news I see millionaires laughing at us as they twist the truth to legitimatize the ugly behaviors of the uber-classes. I hate Diane Sawyer the most. I can barely keep from spitting every time I see her creepy smile.
Years ago I discovered that what was being said on the nightly news, I had read about three days earlier on DU. Often, I had had the opportunity to read several articles about the topic and digest the ideas and comments of DUers on related threads. I had time to think about what was being reported and make sense of things before I saw the story on television. Therefore, I would notice how the personality relating the "news' was interpreting the story for the audience, which aspects of the event were being emphasized and which were being buried.
Actually my 85 year old mother-in-law, who doesn't read DU and who barely reads English, has noticed the same thing about the news. She sees the stories being reported on the evening news three days earlier on her computer. She laughs about it.
Maybe others are discovering the same thing?
