Fox propaganda technique #31

This is well put, and captures just one of Fox's many propaganda methods.
(Propaganda like this is why many Americans still support the president. Propaganda works.)

One of @FoxNews' propaganda techniques is that when something happens that's damaging to Trump -- like the FBI raiding his lawyer's office -- they don't lead with the event, they lead with Trump's response to it. That way he's always the protagonist, always out in front.








You'll see a story about Trump's reaction on CNN, too -- but it's a followup to the original story about the raid.

However, anyone with half a brain should wonder what the event is that Trump is railing about, wouldn't they?

I guess they count on the deplorables' attention span of reading one headline and that's all.

Fox: The New Testament - basically a pack of lies and politically correct fairy tales written by homosexuals.
