The Conservative Propoganda Machine

This article reads like good fiction.
"To understand what drives Fox News, and what its true purpose is, you must first understand Chairman Ailes. “He is Fox News,” says Jane Hall, a decade-long Fox commentator who defected over Ailes’ embrace of the fear-mongering Glenn Beck. “It’s his vision. It’s a reflection of him.”"

And there's more:
"Exaggerated and crude claims of liberal bias have become an excuse for poor journalistic standards, and for shoddy intellectual ones as well. But the worst of it isn't the propaganda that passes for conservative thought these days. It's the deadly sense of enforced conformity, the stale air that blows in from the stagnant ponds of the Right."
