FOX News: "Fair and balanced" because they say so!"
As Rupert Murdoch's 'war on journalism' hits new lows, droves of disgruntled employees are confessing their many misdeeds, brought upon by the systematic oppression they faced at FOX News.
Watch how FOX executives dictate their bias by forcing reporters to follow memos that predetermine "what they could say and how they could say it."
Rupert Murdoch has decided that the best approach to journalism is to parade opinions dressed-up as News.
The reason is simple: No one can disprove an opinion, and therefore, credibility is easier to maintain.
Should they ever get caught lying, the legal process affords them protection under the First Amendment.
All this, thanks in part to Congress who had the bright idea of passing a Rider (hidden) Bill to deregulate the News Media.
That's right, Corporate News entities can tell lies and distort the news if they so choose, and it's all perfectly legal.
To the best of my knowledge, no country can have or maintain democracy without an honest Press or, at least, one that can be held accountable. But where is ours?
