When they just make the news up and say what they please to keep the great American public in a permanent state of fear to the benifit of greedy corporations and their government bum-boys. The Nazis had similar brainwashing power in Germany as the American government have now over their people!

CNN I can understand. But why FOX too?
Can you give me an example of a news story that both have reported that you found to be brainwashing?

All news has their own spin that they put on the story that is how they compete with one another. I personally believe FOX over the likes of CBS and ABC but that is because I listen to many different sides and read between the lines.
As for the Nazis I have studied them a little and in the beginning they were actually as good as the other parties trying to gain power. They let a nut run their party and he took it to the extremes. Don't get me wrong I do not think that the Nazis were right in their views but they were trying to prevent the hardships and poverty of the German people. The German people were desperate and that is why the followed the likes of Hitler and if a working government is not established in Iraq the same type of thing could happen again.

What about NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, every newspaper in America, and every radio station?
Do you believe that those forms of information are also a conspiracy?
The Nazis only "brainwashed" people because they were in a state of turmoil and it was total chaos. The American government does not have control over anyone who does not want to be controlled. For example: democrats.

I agree with Kaslin C. I am a moderate, a Centrist and I get my information from all sources no matter their political bias. I feel that to limit my info sources would be ignorant. Why would I want someone that preaches to the choir to be my only source?
Just foolish.
And they do not make up stories. Seems it wasn't that long ago that the reporter at the Washington Post got into hot water for stealing his stories from others and embellishing his "facts". What spin someone puts on their story affects the person listening or watching in their formation process. Best to get your news from print media as well as visual media.

I think that CNN trys to be fair but have to be careful how far they can go. Fox is owned, and runned by Republicans and so it is going to publish what they want you to know rather than what is happening. To find out the real news listen to the BBC or other news from other countries. Canada news is pretty accurate.

FOX- ProBush Neoconservative
CNN- AntiBush Liberal
I have to watch both just to get the whole truth.
News has been taking side for the last 6 years.
I don't trust one or the other...
and I am Moderate...

Fox is an arm of the RNC, you are right. CNN follows journalistic standards most of the time, but I agree, they can be alarmists. There are too many media outlets competing for attention, thus the fear mongering.

Believe facts. Form your own conclusions. Leave the opinions behind.

They don't "just make up the news" the put a "twist" on it, they do not make things up. Made up stories have a way of getting exposed.
