pBlakeney,
You are right that FOX (mostly) delineates its opinion from news. Unfortunately, the rest of the MSM most certainly does not. That is one big reason that Fox has an audience – too many people heard “news” that the knew to be propaganda or opinion.
I grew up listening (as a hobby) to Radio Moscow and Radio Havana, and studying the propaganda. It was around 1980 that Radio Moscow became at least as credible as CBS (both sides moved – RM became much smarter and CBS became much more biased).
As many other conservatives, I felt *knew* that I was hearing a big lie. The MSM propaganda did not add up.
Talk radio provided the first big crack in this monolithic wall of opinion dressed as news. It was opinion sold as opinion, and it developed sources and information and put them out.
Fox and blogs now also serve that function. Want to know what is really going on in Iraq – read right here at PJM and you’ll get a different perspective than the pro-defeat MSM puts out.
Oh, and for the record, O’Reilly is neither a conservative nor anyone I favor. He’s a loudmouth toad who cares only for his own ego.
