Fox News, for all it's claims of "fair and balanced" generally pulls out all the stops on low level manipulation. Pay attention to who has the sun in their eyes, who gets the lapel mic v. a dildo, or who reports from peaceful sylvan settings and who reports from the side of a road. Which talking heads get more continuous-shot coverage? Note when and how active and passive voice syntax is used in introducing pundits.

If you have all the "wrong" viewpoints expressed by squinty-eyed dildo-talkers who don't know better than to play in traffic, it doesn't really matter if you give them "equal time" with the guy in a suit in the park having a friendly conversation about all the "right" viewpoints.
