(VIDEO) – Fox News Caught Manipulating Viewers

February 18, 2011 Leave a Comment

The producers at Fox “News” know quite well that their viewers are the type to quickly jump onto the bandwagon and head off to the pep rally and cheer for their favorite political party. This was intentional and Fox didn’t care if they got caught. Their viewers are loyal and ignorant enough to both accept Fox’s apology and still hear those people booing Ron Paul next time they see his face.

If other people yell BOOOOO at Ron Paul, so will our mindless viewers.

How would this look if another network did this with Sarah Palin?

How can you mistakenly air footage that is a year old?

I’ve worked in the crazy world of ENG and I know that this would take extra effort on the part of the editors and producers.

Also, notice the half-assed apology on the part of FOX – Did they air the actual footage, or do they just mention the difference between the cheers and boos? There are other examples of Fox manipulating their viewers with editing tricks. I’ll post them here when I find them.

Harvard Study Published in Addiction Shows Ecstasy Not Associated with Cognitive Decline

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Today the journal Addiction published online the results of a neuroscience study finding no evidence of impaired cognitive performance in users of Ecstasy, the street name for the chemical known as MDMA.

The study, conducted by researchers at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital, improves on earlier studies in several ways. It used subjects who used few or no other drugs or alcohol, compared those subjects to others from the same all-night dance community who had not used Ecstasy, performed complete psychiatric assessments, and utilized hair analysis and other drug testing procedures.

Since previous studies of the neurocognitive effects of Ecstasy did not address these issues, their reports of damage to memory, strategic planning, and other cognitive tasks may have been due to confounded study design rather than to Ecstasy itself.
