The tornado seemed like fact.

EVERYTHING is viewed through the prism of one's own prejudices and experiences - thus there is NO FACTS.

On my blog, I have not used it a single time. Everything I report is accompanied by a link or a quote. Fox News, however, repeats the mantra of "some people say" like a crazed parrot.Clarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027134365260069910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-61200345895923392162011-03-02T13:31:35.843-05:002011-03-02T13:31:35.843-05:00You're a puppet of an imaginary boogeyman, Cla...You're a puppet of an imaginary boogeyman, Clarissa. :P<br /><br />Facts are not up for debate, Patrick. News networks are to report truth, not present misguided opinion as fact, and that is what Fox does. It's an opinion machine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-33863957183039227512011-03-02T10:40:04.990-05:002011-03-02T10:40:04.990-05:00There are many different definitions of propaganda...There are many different definitions of propaganda.<br /><br />Fox News deals in outright lies. That, I think, is indisputable.<br /><br />It is also indisputable that a fetus is not dead. Ergo, it's alive. You are not positioning yourself as a newschannel, so you can lie as much as you want. :-)<br /><br />I have a feeling you are not talking to me here. I never said that you lie, that fetuses are not alive, or that you need to be censored. It's difficult to have a discussion when people assign some strange beliefs to you and then debate them.Clarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027134365260069910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-31791288898400878612011-03-02T10:28:18.483-05:002011-03-02T10:28:18.483-05:00Propaganda by it's very nature isn't lying...Propaganda by it's very nature isn't lying - it's the omission of truth.<br /><br />Canadian media is all over the the Federal Conservatives for overspending during the 2006 election. Big News! How EVIL!! Their senators are doing their job and killing bad legislation. HOW EVIL!! HOW BAD!!<br /><br />Look at the coverage of the Mulroney kick-back scam. He was vilified. Compare that to the coverage of the Sponsorship scandal (where Liberal supporters walked away with BILLIONS) - Chretian was portrayed as a hero. <br /><br />It's not about 'lying' as much as it is about not telling the truth.<br /><br />Look at the reaction to my comment on your Ohio post - you would say I'm lying because I believe a fetus is alive. I think your lying when you deny it.<br />In a conservative society, we get to debate it. In a liberal progressive society, I'm 'lying' and need to be censored.Patricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-13493867009691716532011-03-02T10:05:29.767-05:002011-03-02T10:05:29.767-05:00Patrick: you can't seriously compare any other...Patrick: you can't seriously compare any other newschannel in North America to Fox in terms of lying, can you?<br /><br />And if you have caught CTV and CBC shelling out straight lies, I understand it that you can seek a remedy under the laws of your country.
