Is Fox News the Media Arm of the Bush Administration?
I have a Document that I got from a P2P network that says Fox News had said Bush had won the election even before the votes were counted.

Why is Fox so pro-Bush? This morning Fox and Friends were attacking Dan Rather and CBS, why are they so vicious? Why didn't they defend John Kerry even though the Swift Liars were exposed as Liars again and again? (Don't answer that, I already know)

Maybe we should all refer to Fox News as Bush News from now on.

1. The FOX guy that called the FL election for Bush is his nephew.

2. Yes, one part of the connection is Roger Ailes
http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Roger_Ailes

Ailes political work has included:
-working as a media adviser to Richard M. Nixon Presidential Campaign in 1967-68;
-working as a consultant in 1984 to Ronald Reagan; and
-working on George H. W. Bush's 1988 Presidential campaign;

4. Fox News is what an unbiased news source looks like to a Conservative
One that presents their view reverently and mocks all other views. One big-ass lie the Republicans have told over the years is that they want unbiased news. That's false. They want biased news.

5. They are not only for Bush BUT for ALL conservatives regardless
It is a conservative news network. Don't expect them to tell you the whole truth in politics. They HATE liberal politics, period.

Bought and paid for by a conservative, run by conservatives, and hosted by conservatives. It is not an OBJECTIVE news network.

6. No CNN, MSGOP, and FOX plus the majority of newspapers in this
country are the arm of the republican party.

Turn that shit off!

9. No, they are the main propaganda arm of Bush* Corp
Kind of like Pravda was for the fascists of the Soviet Politburo.

There is a difference between media and propaganda.
