Now, just a damn minute - I don't agree with the bulk of the politics
of many of the conservatives on this newsgroup, and I don't agree that
GWB should be mixing his policies with religious principles, and I
certainly think Hitler sucks - but it is a *huge* stretch to suggest
that GWB is even from the same universe as Hitler, and it is is silly
to suggest also that dxAce or anyone else who regularly responds to
these messages is a neo-Nazi. That is just plain demagoguery, as bad
or worse than anything from either side these days - and for the woman
whose work you quote above to make this statement shows that her mind,
however intelligent and rational she may be, is set on stirring up
emotions using whatever weird analogies she can dredge up.

Is there a danger that US politics can sink as low as those of the
Third Reich? Sure - it is always true, of every country everywhere.
Are we anywhere near that yet? No person in his or her right mind with
any thorough knowledge of current events would hesitate to answer this
correctly, but just in case it is not obvious - NO, we are nowhere
close. The policies of this country suggest just the opposite (which
in fact may be too far left in some cases, as illegal immigrants from
Mexico flood in and that door also remains flung wide open to anyone
from anywhere).

Fascism has always been around, just inches below the surface. We are
primed and the next perceived crisis may well be the one where the
brainwashed masses give up on a free society in favor of one where a
benevolent father figure apparently protects them from all demons real
and (mostly) imagined.

Look at how the masses have embraced the largely inaccurate and
sensationalist Fox News Channel. Not because it reports well, but
because it helps feed their paranoia, to which they have become
addicted.

So Fox is more sensational than say CBS or NBC? You have to be kidding! Have
you been under a rock for the last year? What do you think these outlets
feed YOU? Of course you rubes take it hook, line and sinker.

All TV News sucks.

If you think one is good and another is bad that just shows how
brainwashed you are. They're all chock full of ankle deep coverage of
complex issues, jingoism and dizzying spin.

TV news is wonderful entertainment, because entertainment best delivers
the most eyeballs to the commercials whose sales are the whole point of
commercial television.

Some old people remember when the networks competed for credibility to
lend prestige to their organizations. Problem is, really excellent
news is a guaranteed money-loser. In the days of Edward R. Murrow, it
was understood that news was not to be judged on profitability, on the
same model that big automakers will turn out an impressive
low-production sports car at a loss to lend prestige to the nameplate.

That's simply no longer true anywhere in US TV news. News programs are
expected to turn a profit. These considerations are incompatible with
accuracy, balance or depth in a population with a short attention span.

If you want to be informed, alternate between at least 7 or 8
newspapers from at least a few different countries.

If you want to be entertained, try a good fictional show instead.

It's hard to say what TV news is good for, but for being informed...
not so much.
