FOX Veterans Dish More Dirt

Fellow named Dan Cox said "Not only were we not allowed to ask Murdoch any specific questions about these 'tips,' we were not allowed to check their veracity - anywhere. Murdoch expected us to use them wholesale, unattributed, of course." So what those folks at Fox say is not a lie - Roger Ailes just did not let Them check if it was true! I knew Brit Hume had ethics!

LOL

Rupe biased? They report, you decide

Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel likes to say that it is "fair and balanced." But four people who used to work for the channel said yesterday that executives directed them to slant their coverage to the mogul's conservative liking. At a press conference at the Ritz-Carlton, Murdoch's former employees - Fox News terrorism expert Larry Johnson, Fox News Washington reporter Alexander Kippen, Fox News booker Clara Frenk and Fox News freelance writer David Korb - stood with Robert Greenwald, the director of "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism," a documentary on FNC that screens tonight at the New School University downtown.

Johnson said his appearances on Fox News ceased last year when he questioned the war in Iraq. "They never asked me back again," Johnson told The News' Brian Harmon.

Korb said he received orders to "make protesters look stupid and use footage of small crowds where the protesters look like pot-smoking liberals."<snip>

1. MURDOCH, OWNER OF FOX NEWS, ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR BUSH

this is an old news article BUT it's relavant
One day after announcing plans to move News Corp's official home country of incorporation from Australia to the U.S., Rupert Murdoch told an Australian interviewer that he is backing George W. Bush for reelection. Murdoch, whose media company owns the New York Post and the Fox News cable network, among other holdings, said that the U.S. electorate "completely" backs the president on his handling of the Iraq war and the U.S. economy. "He's going to walk it in," he said in an interview with Sydney radio station 2GB. Murdoch's British newspapers also backed Tony Blair in 1997 and were regarded as a major factor in his victory.

3. Why is anyone surprised

It is amazing that people are surprised about Fox. Rupert has used this identical form of media for a long time. He is the king of tabloids. Why should anyone be surprised?
