Lets be serious for a moment shall we?
With its bare-bones news*gathering operation – Fox News has one-third the staff and 30 fewer bureaus than CNN Ailes has used Fox News to pioneer a new form of political campaign – one that enables the GOP to bypass skeptical reporters and wage an around-the-clock, partisan assault on public opinion. The network, at its core, is a giant soundstage created to mimic the look and feel of a news operation, cleverly camouflaging political propaganda as independent journalism. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics...0110525?page=1 |

Ailes & oxyRu$h are best buds according to the article. You should read it Ailes also got his TV start w/ Nixon
In 1974, his notoriety from the Nixon campaign won him a job at Television News Incorporated, a new right-wing TV network that had launched under a deliberately misleading motto that Ailes would one day adopt as his own: "fair and balanced." |

I remember reading about Coors. their brewery is surrounded by razorwire reminiscent of auschwitz
TVN made no sense as a business. The project of archconservative brewing magnate Joseph Coors, the news service was designed to inject a far-right slant into local news broadcasts by providing news clips that stations could use without credit – and for a fraction of the true costs of production. Once the affiliates got hooked on the discounted clips, its president explained, TVN would "gradually, subtly, slowly" inject "our philosophy in the news.” The network was, in the words of a news director who quit in protest, a "propaganda machine." http://www.rollingstone.com/politics...0110525?page=4 |

Not really.. The sad part is, I think he actually believes this nonsense about the "Honest media over here, and Fox fake media over there!" With its bare-bones news*gathering operation – Fox News has one-third the staff and 30 fewer bureaus than CNN |

Anyone remember a Current Affair Thats where O'Reilly got his start LOL
“In 1992, Ailes retired completely from political and corporate consulting to return full-time to television.” That is a lie. At the time, Ailes was certainly becoming a force in tabloid TV. He had helped launch The Maury Povich Show in 1991, and – in his first brush with the News Corp. empire – he consulted on A Current Affair. |
