My response to FOX SUPPORTERS: Then the actual article by MEDIA SAVVY! AND DAILY KOs!
Cognitive Dissonance: people who have preconceived notions who deny truth or warp it to fit their preconceived notions. People who are incapable to see truth because of their altered belief systems or are to uneducated to wrap their brains around facts.
FACT: FOX News openly admits that they are partisan and base their news shows on only their side of issues.
FACT: People who believe FOX News is "Fair and Balanced" just because it is stated in their adds, suffer from cognitive dissonance.
FACT:Fundamentalists, Anti Government fanatics, Racists, and most southern state anti gay, anti abortion freaks are avid FOX news supporters and are sucked into the FOX bias because they suffer from cognitive dissonance.
FACT: Because of FOX News, the Republican party is suffering from a political party realignment. These fundamental mental infants do not even get it that their very narrow minded opinions have destroyed their own party. This too is called cognitive dissonance.
Farewell sheeple. FOX News is now on delete!
Most
digital cable and direct broadcast satellite systems offer interactive
program guides. Even DirecTV, which is owned by News Corporation, the
parent company of Fox News, offers the ability to create a customized
version of the program guide that includes only the channels you care
about. It’s not quite as user-friendly as Dish Network, but it can be
done.
Side note: Should I suggest that current DirecTV customers
participating in the bailout switch to Dish Network? Sure! Dish kicks
DirecTV’s ass anyway, regardless of what you think about News
Corporation and Rupert Murdoch.
Press the Menu button on the remote to open the Main Menu. Depending on which receiver you have, you may have to select Preferences before getting to the next step.
Select the Favorites option.
Select the desired Favorite List.
Select Modify List.
From the channels list, highlight and select the
desired channel(s). This may require a hardcopy of your program guide,
but you should be able to recognize the abbreviations of most of your
channels. Channels you don’t get will be in some color other than
cyan, so you won’t be adding those to your favorite list.
Select the Save option to save all changes to the Favorite List.
This has the added benefit of being able to also exclude the fifteen
shopping channels, the twelve or so Republican Jesus TV channels, Fox
Reality, Fox Business, and any other channel you never watch, never
want to watch, and would rather not waste time browsing through when
looking to see what’s on.
So now you have your favorite list all set up. To switch to it,
just keep hitting your guide button until it appears. Doing this will
flip through all your menus until you get the one you want.
Congratulations, your house is now Fox-free! You can now pretend to
be blissfully unaware of the existence of Fox News except when Keith
Olbermann mentions it on his show.
