FOX News Compares Scott Brown to Reagan

In his book, "The Truth, With Jokes," Sen. Al Franken talks about how the Bush White House said they were in the reality creation business. By that they mean that their version of reality did not come from history books, or from journalism, which is often the first draft of history. They stated an idea, and then adjusted reality to fit that idea. It sounds pretty crazy, but that is where FOX News comes in. They bombard, the poorly-educated American public with enough propaganda to convince them that the FOX version of reality is true.

It was the same with the Iraq war. In 2002, most Americans, didn't think that Saddam Hussein was a threat, but by the time FOX News and the so-called liberal media had finished, a large percentage of the public believed that Saddam wrote the check for 9-11. (He had absolutely nothing to do with it.)

FOX's latest campaign is to brand Sen. Scott Brown, who has been in the Senate for less than a month, as the next Ronald Reagan. I don't hate Scott Brown, although I don't agree with his politics, but he has hardly done anything, apart from serving in the Massachusetts Senate for nine years and serving in the National Guard. But FOX News is already billing him as the next Great White Hope. The only thing that Reagan and Brown have in common is that they are both good looking. Reagan managed to carry his aw-shucks charisma all the way to the White House.
