In the particular youtube video I choose, it shows Fox news attacking Black Americans and being extremely prejudiced against them. At a point in the video Mark Fuhrman speaks about the O.J. interview and says " They will get up everyday, they will kill somebody and go have some chicken at KFC."This is just a stupid remark because not all black people are bad and murder people. They just get a negative connotation since, some blacks do commit nasty crimes.
Another reporter mentions that Obama is such a big deal just because he is black. This is very controversial because some people like Obama cause of his health care plan not because he is black. The reporter is acting as if it doesn't matter what Obama says he's going to do for the country, but the only reason he would be elected is so we would have our first black President.
Also, another racist remark told was that the Trinity Unity Church in Chicago ,which Obama is apart of, was extremely focused on black folk. A reporter said "Are they worshipping Christ or African things black." and also called the church racist and compared it to a cult. As being apart of America everyone has their right to whatever religion they choose and religion has nothing to do with what Obama will do for the country. Although, some people may want a President that will focus on all of us not just the black race.
Filter one of Herman and Chomskys propaganda model is definitely applied in this video. Fox is very powerful and pro right wing so they are a very prominent news organization. Also, because they are very dominate, filter three comes in because people will believe what Fox says since they are very well known. This could potentially cause less informed people to believing lies. Filter four is also used in this because this video is showing a negative response to Fox news. The whole video is essentially flak, as it completely criticizes Fox news and is really only one sided on the argument.
