How to Watch Fox News

The Fox News Network postures itself as a fair and balanced outlet for news. It is not. Its conservative agenda plays off fear and misplaced patriotism. The network redundantly serves to empower the already empowered. These observations will help open your eyes and ears to their machinations.

Instructions

    1

    Notice the types of news stories the network highlights. Most are fueled by an ill perceived sense of threat or fear.

    2

    Claims to be fair and balanced are ridiculous. The network's agenda is heavily slanted to a conservative viewpoint.

    Their feature shows are not news. They are geared toward opinion. Particularly the ones promoted as "spin" free.

    4

    Religion is blatantly infused into their message.

    5

    Be aware that the average age of polled Fox News viewers is consistently over 55 years old.

    6

    They continually point out the liberal bias in the media while hypocritically and boldly pushing their own conservative agenda.

    7

    Their interview tactics toward those with opposing viewpoints are bullying and rely on ridicule and false accusations.

    8

    They are of the belief that the United States is an infallible nation.
