Относно: Re: But you DO use Fox News as a major source of information, correct?

Artful Dodger: "It's illogical to assume that just because a show like Family Man contains positive messages supporting global warming that somehow this attitude bleeds over to the hard news."

Why is this illogical? At the top, you have one man (Murdoch) owning both.

In the article itself, there is this sentence: "In 2003, Rupert Murdoch himself admitted that the corporation had “tried” to help the Bush administration sell the war in Iraq."

And embedded within this sentence is a another link, to this:

Murdoch Admits He Tried to Shape Public Opinion on Iraq

How did he try to shape public opinion? Why, through programming, whether entertainment or news. He utilized the means at his command. What can be simpler than this?
