Re "Fox manipulation of the audience": Yes, we know that the media manipulates the audience. I just hope that you see that ALL the different media outlets - TV channels, cinema, newspapers, mags - manipulate their consumers.
The thing is, I always get twitchy when people attack one particular organisation (not that I've ever seen Fox News). It's as if they imagine that their own preferred source of propaganda is reliable and objective. Well, it isn't. Here in the UK I always read The Spectator mag (right-wing) and The New Statesman mag (left-wing) every week. That way both hemispheres of my brain are balanced out. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : I watched the entire video. Brand pointed out the Fox manipulation of the audience. IOW, status quo good, the public bad. I applaud that. And since when does capitalism mean liberal democracy? In the US it means a bunch of thugs who run big companies and screw the public. Liberal democracy? My ass. On 03/31/2015 05:09 PM, s3raphita@... mailto:s3raphita@...

"Blame fox?" I got the usual overdose of Russell Brand's narcissism. His manic presentation does no one any favours. Do you really (I mean *really*) buy the idea that "capitalism" (aka liberal democracy) is turning people into crackpots who willingly terrorize and murder innocent people, including children? Ask your friends and neighbours what they think of the outrage. They'll react with disgust. Why should they react like that? Why haven't they been infected with the Lubitz curse? Because they get on with their lives and engage with the society around them and try and make use of the opportunities on offer to do something positive for themselves and their families. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <s3raphita@...> mailto:s3raphita@... wrote : The loony Brand blames Fox News for the tragedy . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCREVmaRaeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCREVmaRaeg
