And the Middle East......
But with Fox News, at least we have alternatives. No one forces us to watch it. I choose to watch Fox News every now and then just to see how they are thinking (got to see it before I criticize it).
But I wonder if the people over there have access to other stations? When I was traveling in the Middle East, especially in Egypt and the West Bank, I noticed that their choice of media was very limited. Mostly a few stations dedicated "propaganda". I asked the locals what was being broadcast and they said government propaganda like how Mubarek was making life better for everyone and how everything bad is the fault of the US and Israel. When I flipped through the channels, I saw mostly images of imams, masked men with weapons shouting, and things of that sort.
