FOX’s Inconsistent Approaches to Terror: Claim Al Qaeda Connection to DoJ, Ignore Successful Conviction of Terrorist Zazi

February 23, 2010 – 1:32 pm

Fear can create an immense hold on a viewing audience, so FOX’s attempts to use fear mongering about terrorism come as little surprise.

Last Friday, most networks preempted their regularly scheduled programs to air an MTV-run benefit for Haitian relief called Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief.
