What is a Fox News Democrat?

Answer 1

Opinion 1:

In one person's opinion, Greta van Susteren fits this spot. Alan Colmes, a frequent guest on various shows, can also be categorized here. Others include Bob Beckel, Kirsten Powers and Juan Williams

Opinion 2:

Since Fox News is a Propaganda vehicle for large corporations, they like to make the world seem simple by offering the voters only choices between Democrat and Republican.

Instead of offering real debate about the issues, a Fox News democrat is portrayed as a whiny, skinny, sniveling indecisive person of weak morals who pales in comparison to the moral giants of the right wing republican mainstream. Even his physical build is lesser than the representatives of the right.

To see where the wealthy learn these tactics, read "The World Outside and the Pictures in Our Heads" by Walter Lippman, one of the founding evangelists of the use of media influence over public opinion.

You should be able to see where the idea of media control of voter thought gained impetus in America. Modern Social Psychologists have expanded on his premise. Read "Influence" by Robert Cialdini or "The Age of Propaganda" by Eliot Aronson, or if you are really having trouble going to sleep at night, you could tackle "Manufacturing Consent" by Herman and Chomsky.

If you read between the lines and think how buying media outlets and twisting the message in favor of the wealthy might pay off, it will explain a lot. By controlling the six minutes of news the average voter watches each day, you can own that vote. Social Psychology is too powerful a science to resist.

For historical context from other societies, Hitlers' Germany and Chinese Communists used propaganda almost as effectively. They did not have the benefits of TV news and Washington think tanks, but they did pretty well with what they had.
