Just what is the price of propaganda and misinformation being passed off as legitimate news to the uninformed? I'm not sure how to quantify it, but I fear that it is far greater than many of us realize.
You'll see a particularly relevant example in this video, as Fox "News" deals with separation of church and state by pushing their conservative agenda and ignoring the law. This is a striking example of the damage this sort of media can do.
