Poll question: If Fox News was part of Hitler's regime, how would they spin his actions?
"I will employ my strength for the welfare of the German people, protect the Constitution and laws of the German people, conscientiously discharge the duties imposed on me, and conduct my affairs of office impartially and with justice to everyone."
- Adolf Hitler

"Restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press; on the rights of assembly and association; and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed."
-Emergency Decree signed by Hitler and Hindenburg

5. Well,
not so much, actually. In Nazi Germany, the "Jewish newspapers" were allowed to continue to print without too much government interference. Why? Because the fascists thought that no aryan would ever read any such paper. Those papers, which did carry quite accurate reports until they were shut down at the beginning of the exterminations, were ignored to the fullest extent. So, really, they didn't shut them down (for awhile, at least), they just minimized them and made sure they had no power anyway.

6. Dr. Josef Göbbels and the Propagandaministerium are your answer.
Edited on Tue May-16-06 11:01 PM by Spider Jerusalem
They set the standard for twisting and distortion of the truth.

And it was Göbbels who said 'A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth.'

Edited on Tue May-16-06 11:27 PM by Marr
by god I'll gas the Jews! You've got make a decision about which side you're on- and this Fuhrer's a man who doesn't shy away from decisions!"

I'd love to see some of the Nazi's false dichotomies. God knows our own propaganda corps shovels them out as fast as they can.
