Rob Shvern on Politics

A comedian mocks television programming as mere propaganda and passive living to which the FOX anchorman responds “you can get all the news you can at FOX news.” Well said!

Former FOX reporters Steve Wilson and Jane Akre discuss being forced to censor truthful information about Monsanto and it’s cancer-causing hormone Posilac that endangers non-organic milk sources. Monsanto threatened to remove advertisements from FOX if they publicized the harm caused by Monsanto products such as Posilac, Roundup, Aspartame, and others. A jury awarded the FOX reporters damages because they had been pressured to broadcast “a false, distorted or slanted story” and fired for threatening to blow the whistle but an appeals court agreed with Fox that it is technically not against any law, rule or regulation to deliberately distort the news on television.

FOX and other news agencies exist to make money, not to provide information to the public or inform them about important matters. This is why news is primarily a source of entertainment rather than information. Corporations do not have social interests, only profit interests.
