.... because Ailes thought or sold the story that Nixon got
run from office because of Dan Rather and the liberal media
such as the Washington Post reporting of Nixon's crimes. It
really was the fault of the media and not Nixon & Company's
actions so Ailes came up with the idea of creating his own
news operation just like he invented news events for Dick
Nixon in 1968. Fox and now much of the Wall Street Journal
are cancers on America with their deliberate misinformation.

Musk and Murdoch @ the Super Bowl ... they are real threats to
our nation's future.

I hope Mr. Smith and the Dominion Lawsuit sinks Fox News or
at least stops News Corp from using the word "news."
