Another reason why Fox News is such a joke

Documentary Emmy Awards were announced today by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). With not one single award nomination for Fox News, it is no wonder why most Fox viewers are so ignorant and easily manipulated. Although most right wing partisans will defend the exclusion of Fox News as a sign that Fox news is not a part of the liberal mass media, academic research of the mass media in America negates that assumption and proved that all the media is influenced by political and corporate power in America. The book, When the Press Fails by several University of Chicago professors documents that beyond a doubt. The more accurate and candid truth behind the lack of any Fox News program or documentary getting any kind of nomination is because Fox News is not balanced, objective, or unbiased. Fox News is sheer infotainment and a propaganda arm of the conservative establishment in America.

The failure of Fox News not to get at least one nomination for its reporting is one of the main reasons why most Americans are ignorant and is another example of the power the media has in shaping and influencing the political process. Just because a program is popular and is the most watched cable news outlets, does not mean it is the most accurate or informative. This political analyst will stick with books written by accredited authors like Andrew Bacevich and leave the infotainment programs to the easily manipulated and mislead viewers of Fox News.
