Oh, FOX is out there in a distant orbit all by itself.
For myself, I check out the BBC or Agence France- Presse when I want to find out what is going on in the world. American media wastes too much of my time telling me who the Kardashians are blowing.
Personally, I wouldn't trust Auntie Beeb if she told me the sun was going to rise in the east. I've been on-site of a BBC story more than once, and what was reported didn't match what I saw and heard.

Well, there really is a mind controlling what you get in the media.
Whichever mind OWNS the outlet you are listening to controls the talking heads.
As always - follow the money.
I have noticed in auto design there is a type if herd mentality.
No one wants to be too bold, unless it is an exotic.
Why should the media be any different?
Every one of us has an agenda.
Do we think these guys don't?

In the U.S. for the past 150 years all the presidents have either been Democrat or Republican. In our last presidential election 98% of the voting populace voted for either Obama or Romney, 2% voted for third party or independents. Sounds like mind control could be a viable option.

I don't think anybody is in control. Some may think they are in control, but ultimately, control eludes us all.
