When it's this obvious. As others pointed out some is deep rooted and subliminal. What they show on Fox News is overt. This is what we get for the dumbing down of America. No critical thinking, no fact checks...just Michele Bachmann or Glen Beck said it so it has to be true. Yes Fox News propaganda works on dummies and apparently there are a lot on this forum since they posted the story about the 200 billion dollar Inda trip over and over and some are still defending it although it has been debunked so many times.

Absolutly right. The left's been doing it for years, and one network comes along that doesn't follow their lead, and they throw a fit.

Then the sentence at the top will come to life and you'll realize you are free.
The ultimate wisdom, and very beautifully said. Here, here

I posted on another website that I recognized the Nat Geo documentary series "Border Wars" as political propaganda scripted by DHS to try and show the border is under control so that Comprehensive Immigration Reform can be passed.
Exactly, which is why so mainly people are unwittingly programmed to accept certain narratives that are put forth by the government/news media, because of the narrative/theme that has been woven into fictional tv programs and movies.

At least it's more interesting than the Chamber of Commerce obsession of a few weeks ago.

Slightly less interesting than the 'Koch-brothers, Dick Armey controlled Tea Party corporate puppeteers'. Although in all honestly...that week's outrage from the left was only amusing in the number of times Maddow was used as a reference.
I can't give you any goodies but this will surely show that I agree with you.

You could prove that you really know what propaganda is if you could list some of it that you accuse Beck of propagating. Until you do I will have to accept the fact that you don't really know what it is.

Since Tempest won't do it, maybe you can define propaganda to me in some words other than from MSLSD or Media Matters. Just kicks take a try.

If they actually did seek the facts from a credible source, they would find that a lot of the things he says are not true. I have debunked many of the things he's said in the past and provided sources. I am in no mood to do it right now. If you actually read what's in the OP and give it some serious thought, you may be able to see this as well but I know that's highly unlikely. Furthermore, I acknowledged that Fox News or the right wing are not the only ones guilty of spreading propaganda but they are the strongest at this point.
I think that a simple definition of propaganda might do some good to prove that you really know why only the right spreads it.

I have seen some of your sources about Beck and don't consider them much more truthful than you think he is. Watching him now and then and getting the really "straight" poop about him from Media Matters makes me wonder just how many times you got those stories "he told" according to MM sometimes makes me wonder about people like you.
