Looks like FOX “News” is at it again. They had Obama’s campaign spokesman Bill Burton on to defend a statement accusing Fox of, “false, desperate attacks.” Now of course Fox replied with the “fact” that they are “fair and unbiased” while of course cutting off and talking over Bill Burton as much as humanly possible. The exchange is pretty entertaining, but also disturbing. Disturbing because it’s suck a blatant example of how unfair and biased Fox really is. How exactly is it fair and unbiased to constantly cut of your interviewee and attempt to make your own opinions known more than theirs? Especially when your point is that you are unbiased? What is more disturbing is the fact that people watch Fox News, they’ve seen this interview and plenty like it, and continue to view Fox News as “fair and unbiased”. Why? Because Fox News has told them they are fair and unbiased thousands of times over. If you hear something enough times, you start to believe it, I guess. But even with this excuse it disturbs me that people are so illogically equipped to overcome such a brain washing. It’s like if I told you a thousand times that I wasn’t going to slap you in the face, slapped you in the face, and then when asked if you were slapped you said, “He’s not going to slap me in the face.” Except that I’m constantly slapping and saying I won’t slap. Good thing stupid people can’t vote… wait a minute?
