(7,321 posts)John Miller is the equivalent to the Reich's Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels.
Fox "News" serves as a very useful tool in manufacturing and fomenting "outrage" and feigning or greatly exaggerating sharp ideological divisions between the establishment's "two party" system with moronic and/or egregiously deceitful sound bites, "analytical" editorials etc.
So many posts of the outrageous clips from Fox pundits are frequently posted and commented on here.
Yet, rarely if ever do I see intelligent critique with regard to the News Hour, NPR's All Things Considered, and most high on my list of propaganda tools is Charlie Rose.
Is it because it is assumed that Public TV and Radio exist to serve the Left? Because they've been doing anything but that for over a decade now, as they've been dutifully serving the Neo-Conservative Agenda.
It is true, that we on the left will get thrown an occasional carrot or bone to chew on, but on the issues that really matter, forget about it.
It would really go some way in restoring my faith with those who identify as Liberals or Progressives in recognizing the putrid crap for what it is, served to us day in and day out.

On Edit: Curious, was Charlie Rose the Interviewer in the John Miller segment?
Does anyone here have a problem with Charlie Rose having an exclusive show on PBS while simultaneously employed as one of the major Morning anchors on CBS (and I believe on 60 Minutes) as well?
