Abstract

Facts Forum Fable: A Congressman's Expose
Hays, Wayne L. | October 23, 1954 issue

add to cart   close window

Facts Forum broadcasts programs of the public-discussion type over more than one hundred radio and several score television stations. It claims to present both sides of important issues, but actually it is in no sense impartial. If two sides are presented, there is no doubt which side Facts Forum is on. The technique is to identify one point of view with the entire philosophy of government to which Facts Forum adheres. By using factual material in presenting the side to which it is opposed Facts Forum can claim that it is completely fair and unbiased. It is time the U.S. people recognized the spuriousness of Facts Forum's claim to impartiality.
