Is it true that "Fox News" is brainwashing Americans?

No they just show a lot of press releases disguised as news. I think most people are smart enough to realize this. I'm sure there are a few dummies who don't catch on to this but most do.\n\nlove and blessings Don

I personally can't wait. It should be interesting and educational. Fox was talking about that news station aljazers (? on sp.) And how they were going to start airing it on TV naturally we won't be able to pick it up but you can watch it on the Internet by streaming video. This way EVERYONE will be able to see how the other Countries really feel about us and our way of life. I have searched some of the sites that Glen Beck recommended and it scares the hell out of me but I'm talking about the way it sounded to me.But on the other hand it could be seen as just propaganda. But at least "We" can judge for our self.

They have been brainwashed by the corporate media. CNN, FOX, ABC all are owned by corporations which sell the government items that is used in war, etc.\n\nThey promote false choices and a pro-big business agenda to dupe the people in voting against their own interests.\n\nAmericans have been suckered into voting for someone who doesn't care for them and only works for his sponsors, i.e. big business.

Regardless of your politics people, the answer is YES.  The media needs stories to fill 24 hours worth of 'news.' The media frequently "reports" what the governments reports, says, and spins.  People at all levels of government (federal, state, local, school) spend time every day trying to spin a media message in a particular way, in the same way that PR companies and corporate companies cast their messages.  How, when, what, and why a story is reported is generally structured by others in government (and business) with the public blissfully unaware.  Fox simply characterizes with a conservative bent.

FOX NEWS needs to be STOPPED! The second the govt. controls the media, this not a democracy! Only idiots watch Fox News!

yes... they also assume that about 80 percent of America believes the same thing that they do... even after about 48 percent of America voted for Kerry... and that was when Bush was popular, compared to now... \n\nIn short... they are in denial... listen to them... all media is against them, except for 1 or 2 clearly bias networks...\nthey think liberals are both extremely stupid and yet they control all educational institutes... and liberals want to take over America and turn it into a communist dictatorship... this is what some of them actually say on here... \n\nmany of them clearly have no base in reality...\n\nAnon28: welcome to Yahoo Answers!... I've seen that one before

We are all "brainwashed" from childhood- by parents, kindergarden, school, friends, college, work, and yes,by media.\nWhat do you see/hear/read has been edited to certain level (sometimes to "very far from the truth), but it is your choice to listen to it or shut it down.\nIf some structure will try to brainwash you too strong - you will lose any trust for it and stop using it (example -in Soviet Union was newspaper called "Truth" -  and there was saying that if it is in "truth"- then it must be false).\nPolitcorrectness though is been mastered by media ,however i think that government is not the one to blame.

I agree with the previous post. Why not both?  And I really don't want to come across as elist, but I doubt the American citizentry really knows enough about either country to be making such determinations.  What you've learned from watching 'floating heads' argue on CNN or Fox News for an hour probably isn't enough to be determining whether or not you think a country should be trusted.  Hopefully then, our elected officials will do what we expect them to and approach the situation with expert tact.

Nearly all of the Americans who are upset about Mexico are the ones that are too stupid or lazy to learn Spanish. We get real paranoid when people talk and we can't understand what they are saying. Fox news is just telling these people what they want to hear. "They're takin' our jobs!" Well maybe they are but it's mostly the crappy ones we don't want to do to begin with.
