It is hardly breaking news that Fox News has been and is a propraganda outlet for the right-wing faction of this country. Guests on their shows have called them on it from time to time but have been met with steadfast denials and 'shocked' looks from the anchors and hosts. They will never admit they are tools working for Roger Ailes who ultimately reports to Rupert Murdoch.
So when the ultimate evil billionaire goes to Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum and tells the truth about Fox, people pay attention. The leaders of this event cut out Rupert's admission in the film, but everyone heard what he said.
From NewsCorpse:
Murdoch was asked if News Corp. had managed to shape the agenda on the war in Iraq. His answer?
“No, I don’t think so. We tried.” Asked by Rose for further comment, he said: “We basically supported the Bush policy in the Middle East…but we have been very critical of his execution.”
Let me repeat this: “We Tried!”
Ok, that last line is full of crap. Rupert and his network have rolled over and over again to make Iraq look like a place of opportunity and excitement (not coming from the constant rain of shrapnel ) for the average Iraqi. Fox can't report the truth about anything even if it continually slaps the network in the face for the last four years.
So now that Murdoch admits the motivations of his network, will anything change? Of course not, no one wants to acknowledge his admission. Crooks and Liars tried to look for the film from last week and only found nine minutes of footage that mysteriously did not include the billionaire's truthiness.
