Just about as disgusting as liberal teachers and activists doing it in a larger scale.

I was always an outspoken critic of parents who use their children to push their political agenda. Some on the left would do it during their protests. But now Fox News is bringing children onto their network simply because they enthusiastically support Trump.

What exploitative garbage. :doh

Do you oppose free speech?

For Crying Out Loud, The Right Needs to Stop Doing This With Children

This is a good thing. It's encouraging to see that not every young person has been brainwashed by the Marxist indoctrination centers we refer to as public schools.

Our schools aren't Marxist indoctrination centers.

I suggest understanding what words mean before actually attempting to use them.

I agree, those videos are cringeworthy, at best. As a teacher, I would never ever subject my students to such propaganda.

Some of my clients are group homes and mental health facilities. Whenever I go to this one site I always see a big classroom full of people and the "mental health professional," is playing them political clips on Youtube of the cable news talking heads. I generally wouldn't have a problem with this, if this was regular people in a classroom setting with both sides being shown like on this thread. However, these people are there for mental health reasons. As in, not completely right in the head. So I am not really sure how showing them politics helps fix them! One time I heard loud and clear Rachael Maddow two-three rooms down as I was helping someone set up a computer. I doubt they heard the other side of whatever it was she was talking about at the time. Though there's not much truth going on these days in my party.

When its a vector of scientific manipulation?

Sure.

Bet the founders would agree, considering the large role these techniques have played in the establishment of tyrannies.

The constitution, after all, is nothing but a "tyranny defense system".

Speech is free or it's not. Period.

Your third video claims the "New Hitler is here", which rather effectively torpedoes your claim.

And had the founders known that "speech" would eventually include cynical psychological manipulation I'm quite sure they would have qualified what constitutes "free speech".

"Cynical psychological manipulation" was not unknown to the founders. Otherwise how did slaveholders write about "unalienable rights?" Free speech then, free speech now.

What a stupid question. Nowhere did I say there should be a law against what they are doing. :roll:

The 24/7 infotainment channels stress me the hell out. I could barely stand watching them for more than an hour at my grandparents' place, I could only imagine what it is doing to those patients.

He's right, your wrong. Long ago children passed through deeply patriotic schools where they were immersed in the language,
literature, history & traditions uniquely American.

Today however those schools have been converted to the point that American history, if it is taught at all,
is often taught as a series of crimes against people of color.

No, he's not and nor can you demonstrate that he is. You both clearly have no idea what Marxism is.

Which is irrelevant to the fact that they're not 'Marxist indoctrination centers'.

Yeah, the parents and network are exploiting the children for their own political agenda. You don't have to agree, but you cannot say by that statement I oppose free speech. What silliness.

Everyone who says that has not recently been through our American public schools. :roll: And any 'evidence' they show is purely anecdotal.

Doesn't anybody notice the difference here? These videos are News. It is captured at the location. FOX is bringing the kids on their programs. Kind of like their Tea Party founding, promotion, and providing of key-note speakers. FOX fabricates news.
