Entry #2: Slanted Fox News Reporting



This is a perfect example of slander reporting.  The producers pulled Tom Ricks off the air as soon as he started saying things that they didn't agree with.  It's obvious that was the reason why they did that, because as far as I know, they don't schedule interviews that only last 49 seconds.  Rather a pointless interview, and didn't say much other than showing Ricks' distaste for Fox New's reporting.

Another example, slightly related to this, is that news stations will edit a particular report to make it say whatever they want it to say, rather than the original intended message.  This allows them to let the viewers see what the station wants them to see, not allowing viewers to form an educated opinion for themselves.
