FOX is well endowed enough fiscally to be able to 'buy' their eyewitness and experts. As a result they frequently have content others do not and others have to purchase FOX footage which in turn pays for the 'high end' exclusivity of their content.
However, the reason FOX does this is to 'entrap' viewers into believing their point of view is the most correct and the most informed. They do this to exploit air time with 'commentators' that exploit the issue by lacing it with lies as 'commentators' are not journalists and are not bound to any ethical standard.
In other words, FOX fits the facts to the crime rather than other way around. I don't watch them. I listen to local broadcasts whenever a radio is nearby to stay up on the exploitation of their 'airwaves' so I know 'what they are up to.' But, I don't listen for facts. If there are any events broadcast on FOX that is news, I always turn to a better source for 'the truth.'
Twenty-four years ago, Murdock gave up his Australian citizenship to build a better empire. As an Aussie he was limited to the extent he could play politics within the content of news. He wanted 'a hand' in the big game. Australia had and has small wars compared to the extent the USA can be involved. He wanted to 'wheel and deal' power and he didn't care who was who in politics. He felt he should and could back anyone he chose and push them into power and he was successful doing exactly that in Great Britain. Tony Blair was elected as a Labour Party candidate because Murdock threw in with him, either by Blair's consent or not.
This desire of Murdock's News Corp. to 'play politics' with the news is 'his style.' He doesn't care. He wants to be King of the World and that is exactly what he sets out to do. He is dangerous and he does not play by the rules. He has news media control on three 'fiscally significant' continents on the planet; Europe, North America and Asia.
He dines with heads of state on personal levels and relishes the moment. Like what? It is corruption and anyone that is within the realm of government found dining with Murdock should be on the front page of The National Enquirer. He is a dangerous person and quite frankly The Wall Street journal was obtained by him to control 'the markets.' The Wall Street Journal, in all honesty has become another Murdock rag. It is exploitive and now 'sponsors' Right Wing extremists such as Rove on a regular basis.
I am sure Murdock would say, "At least they can come to us when no one wants to hear what they have to say." Really? That is important? We need to hear from former government officials that have run illegal wars, destroyed the global financial infrastructure and 'play head games' with the electorate of a ? democracy ? I don't think so.
There is a huge difference between 'the tone' of a newspaper's reporting and its 'siding' with a particular party. Since Murdock existed in the media business in Australia he has done nothing but 'play politics' with the power of journalism and the media. He takes sides and espouses particular vernaculars of speech and structuring. His 'commentators' are disciplined in 'towing the line.' They are paid well for it.
FOX isn't a reliable news reporting station, it is a news entertainment station and so are their radio stations. They toy with fantasy more than facts and their listeners and viewers like it and 'go along for the ride' because there is usually a 'bottom line' in it for them.
One might say, people have a right to conduct themselves and their businesses as they see fit, but, when a 'news entertainment' media portrays themselves as 'real and factual' there are all kinds of problems in the greater world. Climate Change and the profound denial by 'corporate' entities and how that translates into power over the electorate is a 'clear danger' and no one bothered to stop it.
Facts are facts and when they are 'clouded' with innuendo and 'covert purpose' it effects the outcome to people that isn't at all in their best interest, nor, the national security of any country.
I don't like him.
I think he is a jerk.
And reminds me of a child out of control with a very powerful tool he has no intention of being responsible 'to' or 'for.'
In the hands of a 'quality corporation' News Corp could be a miracle worker rather than a war rag.
There is definately a pattern and the White House is exactly correct. The question is what are they going to do besides talk about it.
