News is entertainment. They tell and sell stories people want to buy. Nobody wants the truth, they want one cohesive story that is easy to digest that fits their storyline of the world so far. This is no problem that needs to be fixed. This is simply because it isn't practical to have any other approach. If we didn't we'd do nothing else but read and interpret news.

Derrida has written plenty about this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derrida he's got lot's of clips on youtube, if you're not the reading type.

We read the news that corresponds to our level of education purely out of sheer necessity.

I don't blame Fox news for formatting the truth like they do. They're a news station and this is the reality they live in. They have their niche and it's popularity is proof they're doing a good job feeding that niche with the kinds of news that niche are interested in and capable of digesting.

Anybody with any kind of education of course realises that the news isn't the truth. It's a truth. The people who don't... well... who doesn't?

I like Fox news. I think they're hilarious. It doesn't get any more jingoistic and low brow. They're the perfect parody of themselves.
