Conservatives applaud Fox News for its "balancing" point of view. Celebrated high-school teacher and commentator Betsy Newmark, for example, says: "[V]iewers of Fox News get a different perspective on the news that they don't get from the network news or probably from their newspapers. It opens their eyes to the possibility of their [sic] being another side to some story that is being portrayed in a one-sided manner." Indeed. Organs of propaganda usually present "another side to the story", one that demonizes the regime's opponents – As we see in the current story about Gretchen Carlson at Fox News, who just called Senator Kennedy an enemy of the state (coverage of the story cited above and partially reproduced below)... Which is how organs of propaganda separate themselves from organizations providing legitimate news.

Fox News Anchor Calls Ted Kennedy A 'Hostile Enemy Right Here On The Home Front'
This morning on Fox News, anchor Gretchen Carlson called Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) a "hostile enemy" of the United States because he has demanded that Congress vote on whether to approve funding for escalation in Iraq. In an interview with White House counselor Dan Bartlett, Carlson compared Kennedy to insurgents and terrorists in Iraq, saying that Kennedy represented the same kind of force "right here on the home front"... Dan Bartlett disagreed, saying that the White House doesn't "view Ted Kennedy as a hostile enemy" of the United States.

Transcript:

GRETCHEN CARLSON: You talk about the hostile enemy, obviously being Iraq, but hostile enemies right here on the home front. Yesterday Senator Ted Kennedy, proposing that any kind of a troop surge should mean there should be congressional approval of that. A lot of democrats not coming to his side on this. But obviously this is not going to be an easy sell on Capitol Hill, even if it's not an easy sell to the American Public.

BARTLETT: We don't view Ted Kennedy as hostile enemy but we do view him to be an open and often critic of the war. He has been from the outset. I don't think that's anything new.
