Fox Morning Show

I was watching Fox Morning News and noticed how sophisticated their editorializing is regarding Republican and Democratic candidates that are running for President. The routine goes like this.... In a seemingly harmless casual coffee shop type setting, the correspondents pretend to have a casual conversation about the candidates. For example, they might say, "Hey Barack Obama came out and discussed his use of drugs and alcohol in school." then one correspondent will say, "I kind of admire him for that." Then another correspondent says, "Hey I feel he did not say enough, lets roll the tape." Now all three will say, "Hey your right, Barack was irresponsible because he did not say enough against drug usage." They do this every time. They have a set up, then a convenient clip ready to show the candidate, and finally some editorializing. Very clever way of manipulating their viewers. Check it out for your self.
