Fox “News” in Emergency Mode
March 27, 2010 at 10:12 AM 4 comments
I see that Fox’s Neil Cavuto is working on a Saturday, which means Fox is in emergency mode; this time over the health care bill. He’s reporting live from Washington — with the Capitol behind him — in a special Saturday edition called “Final Diagnosis.”
The message, delivered through people such as Donald Trump, Mike Huckabee, and the president of Jerry Falwell’s “Liberty University,” is that the health care bill will (1) destroy the economy, (2) kill jobs, (3) make it so anyone and everyone can view your medical records, and (4) make college unaffordable.
Yep, it’s an emergency alright. Gotta make sure people don’t like the bill, before they do.
(Cavuto found it necessary at one point to say that the building behind him was “the nation’s Capitol — not the Vatican.” Wow. Quite an admission as to the intelligence of the audience, don’t ya think?)

Remember, they’re reaching out to an audience of high-school dropout shut-ins.

Al their talking points are so easily refuted, but their viewers DON’T CARE. Ignorance is bliss.

Yeah. That’s really at the heart of it. If their viewers looked into what they were told, they’d realize most of it was a bunch of crap and they’d stop watching.
