YES
FOX-a-holics are consumed with fear. Did you ever notice their infatuation with yellow ribbon. They all put yellow ribbons on their car.
That ribbon represents the Police Line do not cross. It gives the FOXed a sense of security.
Go Team Bush Go

Bush and Republicans use fear of terrorism to push their social/environmental agenda...
Al Gore and Democrats use fear of global warming to push their social/environmental agenda...
So just because Rupert (not saying I accept the premise of this question) may use propaganda to further his own views... doesn't make him all that similar to hitler... but just like every other person who has an opinion.
I don't have any reason to question the sincerity of either side just because one side is more fearful of one issue over another. Partisans on either side will try to attach sinister motives to the other... try to imply they are Nazi's, etc... but that only shows me that they are hateful and desperate.
Politics requires issues... to be elected a politician must have an agenda that resonates with his constituents... you as a voter get to decide which politican will best serve your causes.
Implying Rupert is like Hitler will not help your cause... it will only broaden the divide between reasonable people on both sides.

repeatedly, the main significant flow information companies have had their motives and suggestions questioned. Dan extremely, is a considerable occasion. And yet, demos nonetheless take the observe of those morons. newshounds are meant to basically record the information, no longer create it. the three considerable information companies intend to make money with the information, and Fox does too. Fox factors that is newscasts in direction of forward questioning conservatives, like me, as a replace of backwoods questioning liberals, such as you. think of approximately it for a 2nd, One basically reported that hundreds of bridges are approximately to furnish way. the different reported that a million,seven-hundred bridges national are got here across to be poor, and extra advantageous than a million/2 are being repaired or replaced today. Which record is concern based?

Hitler = leader of the country.
Rupert = some schmo with money.
Germany = state controlled media.
USA = free media.
If you have a problem with what Rupert puts out, change the channel, read a different paper, or look at a different web page.
There is no comparison.

A similar question is put to a vote at myverdict.net and mentions the 'Wizards First Rule' as stated in Terry Goodkind's 'Sword of Truth' series of fantasy novels.
I paraphrase.
The wizard's first rule states 'That most people are stupid, they can be made to believe almost anything, either because they want it to be true or because they are afraid that it might be true'.

Yes. Right before the Kerry/Bush Election, Karl Rove had Bush's camp release their "big guns" as a last resort in their TV campaign. The objective: To scare the living daylights out of Americans! There was a scary black wolf that was supposed to be the terrorists and the innocent unprotected children was the U.S. They basically were saying that if we didn't vote for Bush, that this big scary wolf would come after our children in the night and eat them. So yes I believe that would calssify as the same technique.

Rupert makes money. Period. Not that I defend him or his so called "news" network, but it's his right to do so, and it's your right not to watch it.
People love hearing about things that scare them on the news. They don't want to hear about a huge new school or library in their community, they want to hear how someone blew someone away, or lost a body at a funeral, or Britney's hair (lack of). Things that don't usually affect them personally in their own lives/neighborhood. Why do people like rollercoasters over the teacup rides? One's got more thrill. :)

It's true, many politicians use fear to manipulate votes; however, in the USA fear is used to stay in power and earn money -- not to practice genocide.
Big difference. The USA doesn't have anyone in its political scene that can compare to Hitler.

I'm not sure what propaganda Rupert creates. I also fail to see how he instills fear in the American people.
