Cobbled from "others" who I assume do this for a living, but well worth the re-post.
If you side with “MSBNC “ or “FOX” and think it’s the other “side” that is wrong and full of shit…congratulations you are a propaganda victim. They pursue a divide and rule tactic that prevents people from seeing that their real enemy is a corrupt, amoral and moribund political and economic system that has become utterly depraved and dysfunctional.
However, we should be careful about the fallacy of false equivalence. FoxNews and MSNBC resemble each other, but they are not mirror images of each other. Aside from the occasional Chris Wallace interview, FoxNews pretty much doesn’t do any factual reporting. MSNBC actually does as long as it does not challenge or is in line with elitist Establishment thinking. What this means is that with heavy filtering there is still information to be gleaned from MSNBC while even with such filtering you pretty much come up dry at FoxNews.
