I am not advocating this other odd commentary. Just his observations on Murdoch only. The other comments are highly hilarious.
Keith's book was required reading in 93 at Uni in Politics 1 for me. Schuttle demonstrated that media outlet often set agenda as you said via confirmation bias.
Anyway like I said an interesting idea, to use scientific method as a means to demonstrate that something that is said in the media often enough must become fact. The sheep might well read that as truth. The critical thinkers might reserve their judgement. How much of the reported truth is in fact the truth? Hence my statement about syllogisms. Perhaps I was wrong in thinking that was the thrust of your argument.
