By appealing to the lowest demensions of human response mechanisms and human emotion.
Fox News plays on the GOP's fear with no real journalistic goal short of propoganda.
It's the GOP way!!

Fox news is there propaganda device. It's funny to see their special on how hated Americans are by radical Muslims.
They didn't ever mention that multiple middle east wars may account for some of that ill-will.
For Fox it's the commentary. The news is the necessary evil at the hour and half hour. If you truly want to hear the sermon, listen to all of the tripe in between, its pathetic.

you should no longer watch Fox information, O'Reilly, or Hannity & Combs or you may understand Republicans do not watch it in concern, yet particularly to hearken to the actuality of what's going on in this united states. Democrats attempt to regulate this united states right into a Socialist Society, which hasn't ever worked everywhere in the international. Their motto is tax and spend, that's what the U.S. does no longer favor. The monetary equipment has finished nicely below Bush's tax cuts. the wealthy pay sixty 8% of the taxes, the middle classification will pay 5l% and the unfavourable pay 3%. You Dems ought to like that, yet you save retaining Bush favors the wealthy. you basically won't be able to get your information immediately, so that you actually favor to exhibit screen Fox information so that you'll listen the actuality. the different Fox courses are honest and balanced as they always have an "anti" individual for each "professional" individual. i do not see that on maximum different information shows.

Truly, I don't think conservatives can or should dispute that Fox is a right wing broadcast. When they watch it, they are aware - I'm sure - that they are agreeing with the political commentary. Therefore, it represents 'their side'. And really, that isn't a problem for me. ALL news stations are partisan, and Fox belongs to the right. What I do find appalling is the marked lack of respect they show for guests - speaking over them and putting words in their mouths. I find their politics akin to bullying, and their intollerance is overwhelming.
Coulter and OReilly are the kinds of people that would be obnoxious at a dinner party, if the subject matter of discussion offended them...instead of showing a little class for the host, and biting their tongues. THATS why I don't like Fox. It has nothing to do with the political leanings, and EVERYTHING to do with the commentators and hosts they hire.

I watch Fox News because it will report BOTH sides of any story....not just the liberal side that most news networks report. True, most of its anchors are conservative but there are many others that are liberal. Personally, I am always looking to educate myself further and always ALWAYS appreciate a good (yeah, I said GOOD) debate. A debate that is supported with facts and not just rhetoric or spin, a debate in which both sides have equal time and opportunity to support their argument. Is it fear that keeps me watching???? NO! It is the fact that we live in a free society and I have the CHOICE as to which news network is worthy of my time.

How is showing both sides of an issue playing to someone's fear? How is showing the good things happening in Iraq AS WELL AS the bad playing to fear? Your question doesn't hold up under scrutiny, my friend.

It doesn't.
Oh, I see you already gave your fantasy response. LOL, good one, you should be ready for your next book any day now.
BTW, if you really want to discuss anyone playing on people's fears, how about discussing Algore's misinformation and fear mongering about global warming?

The only thing I see connecting fear and Fox news is democrats. It was extremely foolish for the Democrat party to attempt to label a news outlet as bias. This will bite them in the butt from now on. It only proves what republicans have been saying for decades, that all of the other news channels are left leaning.

Most of the fox reporters have been card carrying democrats for 20 years (Chris Wallace fo example). Some conspiracy. I thought you were making fun of conspiracy theorists just a second ago. Oh wait you are liberal, my bad.
