When I was a kid and watched Huntley-Brinkley
after a big story, they'd often state what Pravda had reported about the same incident and it was pretty laughable - not to say that NBC News didn't have real RW bias in those days - but to get back to the main point:

what FOX is doing with old clips of McCain (Stalin, Kosygin, Andropov) looking healthier , of lying about the facts surrounding a story and insisting even after being caught that they were right in the first place just smacks of coverage by a totalitarian state-sponsored outlet. It's beyond disgraceful it's seditious and...COMMUNISTIC!

1. I've noticed this too. Fox is the new Pravda.
Our Wonderful Great Leader is always right. Dissent is unpatriotic. War is peace. Up is down. It's the Fox way!

When exactly did America start turning into the Soviet Union? I was told as a child that the USSR was evil, with their suppression of dissent, rigged elections, etc. What does that make us?

2. American media makes Pravda look like armatures
We have the illusion of multiple so called news outlets. But if you listen carefully it is a well orchestrated propaganda machine repeating the same message at well times intervals in order to deceive the public into believing all is as they say.
