you fear it?
Interesting point IF. How can a person fear bias contained in "information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view." If a person is aware of the nuances of right or left wing propaganda dressed up as a harmless message why is there a need to fear it. Surely it is irrational to fear something that you know to be false or biased.
Right wing propaganda is to be feared because of the fact that there are all too many gullible and uneducated people around who will just accept and believe it. And the uncritical acceptance of the ideology peddled by the right wing is dangerous.
as an example of that . . . See what happened when the Murdoch press peddled their particular brand of right wing propaganda in one of our most promininet national newspapers and tv stations?
We ended up with a right wing govt. For a short time only methinks, but nevertheless much damage has already been done.
