This is a huge story, and needs far more love and attention.
Sure, it’s from Gawker, but I can’t think of many others who could provide commentary on mass media appeal like them.
Basically, Fox News traces its’ roots back to 1970 - during the Nixon White house. Ailes worked on a project to do everything from bring dissenting political candidates into interviews where they would be effectively ambushed by questions, to making sure the president’s ties weren’t shiny, to how the president should choose a youngster to light the tree with him one Christmas.
Read this thing folks. It’s well worth it.
