  Roger Ailes' Secret Nixon-Era Blueprint for Fox News

  wilwheaton:

  Republican media strategist Roger Ailes launched Fox News Channel in 1996, ostensibly as a “fair and balanced” counterpoint to what he regarded as the liberal establishment media. But according to a remarkable document buried deep within the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, the intellectual forerunner for Fox News was a nakedly partisan 1970 plot by Ailes and other Nixon aides to circumvent the “prejudices of network news” and deliver “pro-administration” stories to heartland television viewers.

  Oh, manipulated FOX News viewers … you’re so stupid, you don’t even realize how stupid you are.

  Not surprised. At. All.

      It’s all so on the surface. They haven’t made any attempt to hide this stuff. Yet all those people just continue to go...

      If this is even partially true, it’s very disturbing.
