FOX News uses a simple formula to attract and keep viewers, and it works VERY well. The underlying message of every news item on FOX News is: "Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. Stay tuned!" Every story is designed to build fear in the audience: fear of others, fear of immigrants, fear of people not like you, fear of people trying to take away your traditions, your religion, etc., etc., etc. Jim Wallis is right. FOX's message IS the exact opposite of the Christmas message, which is: Be hopeful! Be happy! Good News! Today is born a Savior!
Official rhetoric has helped fuel an escalation of tension between the United States and Iran. Do recent negotiations mark a change in direction, or just a temporary detour from the highway to military attack?
