Contrast? Ok, if with the proviso that no-one on Fox News hardly tells a truth intact, but merely spread another sort of equivocating horseshit of their own.
Well I’m just sayin’ I recognize the differences without failing to simultaneously recognize the similarities. Fox is no exemplar of a decent media to my mind, but merely another flavor of failure. I.e., another piece of shite.

The greengrocer would be embarrassed and ashamed to put such an unequivocal statement of his own degradation in the shop window, and quite naturally so, for he is a human being and thus has a sense of his own dignity. To overcome this complication, his expression of loyalty must take the form of a sign which, at least on its textual surface, indicates a level of disinterested conviction. It must allow the greengrocer to say, “What’s wrong with the workers of the world uniting?” Thus the sign helps the greengrocer to conceal from himself the low foundations of his obedience, at the same time concealing the low foundations of power. It hides them behind the facade of something high. And that something is ideology.

As the repository of something suprapersonal and objective, it enables people to deceive their conscience and conceal their true position and their inglorious modus vivendi, both from the world and from themselves. It is a very pragmatic but, at the same time, an apparently dignified way of legitimizing what is above, below, and on either side. It is directed toward people and toward God. It is a veil behind which human beings can hide their own fallen existence, their trivialization, and their adaptation to the status quo. It is an excuse that everyone can use, from the greengrocer, who conceals his fear of losing his job behind an alleged interest in the unification of the workers of the world, to the highest functionary, whose interest in staying in power can be cloaked in phrases about service to the working class. The primary excusatory function of ideology, therefore, is to provide people, both as victims and pillars of the post-totalitarian system, with the illusion that the system is in harmony with the human order and the order of the universe. . . .

Things about race draw viewers — mostly on TVs looted during riots.

i think of it more as a retarded unarmed teen who didn’t have a gun what attacked an armed police officer who *did* have a gun
this is just not a recipe for win
that said if Mr. popo had just had a tazer handy it would’ve saved a lot of senseless drama

Fox by no means is a sterling example of the best of new media, but the breaking headlines are starkly different and FoxNews’ is how media should act.
Well I’m just sayin’ I recognize the differences without failing to simultaneously recognize the similarities. Fox is no exemplar of a decent media to my mind, but merely another flavor of failure. I.e., another piece of shite.
There is a reason I stopped watching Fox, except for “Red Eye,” and sdferr explained it well.
i wanted to do a video of “an unarmed black teen” playing the polar bear “game”.
