If you think the Paris and Birmingham Islamaphobic lies were a "mistake" then you haven't been paying attention, which includes all the rest of the media it seems, and you certainly have not read this. And if you have not read this, or do not believe it to be true, then you are part of the problem, no offence intended:

How Roger Ailes Built the Fox News Fear Factory

"At the Fox News holiday party the year the network overtook archrival CNN in the cable ratings, tipsy employees were herded down to the basement of a Midtown bar in New York. As they gathered around a television mounted high on the wall, an image flashed to life, glowing bright in the darkened tavern: the MSNBC logo. A chorus of boos erupted among the Fox faithful. The CNN logo followed, and the catcalls multiplied. Then a third slide appeared, with a telling twist. In place of the logo for Fox News was a beneficent visage: the face of the network’s founder. The man known to his fiercest loyalists simply as "the Chairman" – Roger Ailes.

“It was as though we were looking at Mao,” recalls Charlie Reina, a former Fox News producer. The Foxistas went wild. They let the dogs out. Woof! Woof! Woof! Even those who disliked the way Ailes runs his network joined in the display of fealty, given the culture of intimidation at Fox News. “It’s like the Soviet Union or China: People are always looking over their shoulders,” says a former executive with the network’s parent, News Corp. “There are people who turn people in.”"

Meet the Extremists Who Lead Fox's 'Conversation' About Islam


http://mediamatters.org/blog/2015/01/13/meet-the-extremists-who-lead-foxs-conversation/202119

...............................


WSJ owner, Liar, good Catholic altar boy and all round Xenophobe, mhomophobe and Islamaphobe Rupert Murdoch and company, bought the WSJ for a pretty Australian penny because it gave his fascist outfit some credibility, because folks do not see through the cloak.

Then he created Fox News and put kindred spirit Roger Ailes, another good Cafholic altar boy and a Knight in the Church of Who the Fuck Cares, in charge to run the operation, the prime directive was to generate as much fear as possible, and since broadcasters can lie, it was a lot easier than the operation in Australia, and they have no chance in Europe because they know a liar and propagandist when they see one and will call them out. And since fear attracts eyeballs and eyeballs attract advertisers, making money was guaranteed.

British PM's calling the Birmingham Big Lie of Fox out had to really sting Murdoch and Ailes, hence the mealy-mouth non apology. And the French know Fox well, that was a true disaster. Nothing worse for political propaganda than to have a major propganda campaign exposed mid-lie.

When another more powerful good Catholic altar boy like PM Cameron, who Murdoch helped in install as he did for the idiot in Australia, tells you and your outfit minions to fuck off, you fuck off.

It is all part of the same Evil Empire. It is all part of a massive hate speech operation that is rotting
America to the core because theyare masters at controlling the afenda, they are like Super Trolls, the main issues never get discussed as the entire goes off on a wild tangent, wanting to cash in on some of the click bait the propaganda operation of Fox provides.

Loke at how it took the Europeans to shame Fox, meanwhile in America the politicians do not seem to have the cajoles to do so. Why is that, it is a mystery to me.

Why are people protesting in the streets to get a cop or two charged?

MLK said he did not give a fuck about anyone being charged by the system, he wanted to change the system!

So why are folks not protesting the media that shoots their minds dead in the street with hands up just as well as a racist trigger happy cop?

You can't breath because the fucking media has a chokehold on your information airways.

Every fucking word in that outfit, Newscorp/Newscorpse, has a propaganda purpose, that should be the default position.

Anyone want a fucking link I would be delighted to provide dozens.

Really, if you asked me to show one how the Earth is not flat I could give you as many links.




Just saying.......

1. Fox News AKA Cult Behavior. n/t

[BlueJazz]

2. Every person I've met in the past few years, who likes Fox news, is uninformed, has "Facts"...

...that are easily discredited, usually is mind-blind to what's really happening in the world, and votes.

Ugh!

[newfie11]

3. A cult following of misinformed idiots nt

[Fred Sanders]

4. It is not just a cult, most cults do not have a cable TV license to broadcast their hate and lies.

And fewer still have a cadre of politicians on the payroll.

You think Murdoch has not hacked politicians private cell phones or communications, the outfit that hacked a dead girls diary and cell phone to publish the contents?

[newfie11]

8. I'm sure your right! Nt

[Bluenorthwest]

5. After Rupert Murdoch the largest shareholder in NewsCorp is Alwaleed bin Talal Alsaud, a Saudi royal

who owns 7.5%, much more than Ailes could dream of. During the phone hacking investigations, he lavished praise on Murdoch:
"My confidence in News Corp, in Rupert Murdoch and James Murdoch is unshaken completely. We will sell nothing. We are standing by our friends."

Is not Alwaleed bin Talal Alsaud accountable for his own investment at all? Failing to mention his involvement when the subject is the way Islam is presented on FoxNews seems to be extremely unusual to me. That strikes me as a very important factor in the discussion.

[Fred Sanders]

6. Saudi Arabia has been in the news lately for what...suppression of free speech.

Yet here it is that Fox uses free speech mixed with lies and hate while open mouth kissing the greatest suppressor of free sppech in the world, apologies to N. Korea.

The hypocrisy is so bright the rest of the fucking American media has to wear shades.

Why did it take France and politicans in England and Europe to tell Fox to fuck off, where are the politicians with these balls in America?

[Bluenorthwest]

7. What can be said of an article that mentions who is Catholic over and over while discussing the

way Islam is presented on a News outlet that is to a large degree owned by a Muslim? So Cameron is a 'Catholic Alter boy' and that's important to a discussion of Murdoch's 'Islamaphobia' but his largest shareholder being a Muslim is not important to a discussion of Murdoch's 'Islamaphobia'?
To be blunt, this sounds bigoted and edited to tell only part of the truth about NewsCorp. It's an business whose two main owners are Murdoch and a Muslim royal. So alter boys aside, what about that glaring fact?
This piece makes much ado about religion, but leaves out a very important element to the religious make up of NewCorp's controlling interests. That's unusual, if not agenda driven writing.
