Fox News is the modern day Der Stürmer. (For you "Conservatives")
News Corp shrouds themselves propaganda and proclaims their support for Israel for a simple reason, to make you believe what they are doing is morally right. However history will show this to be false and Republicans to be lambs.

We have seen this before and so have you.

Nazi and media: Newspapers

The Völkischer Beobachter ("People's Observer") was the official daily newspaper of the NSDAP since December 1920. It disseminated Nazi ideology in the form of brief hyperboles directed against the weakness of parliamentarism, the evils of Jewry and Bolshevism, the national humiliation of the Versailles Treaty and other such topics.<21> It was joined in 1926 by Der Angriff ("The Attack"), a weekly and later daily paper founded by Joseph Goebbels. It was mainly dedicated to attacks against political opponents and Jews – one of its most striking features were vehemently antisemitic cartoons by Hans Schweitzer – but also engaged in the glorification of Nazi heroes such as Horst Wessel.<6> The Illustrierter Beobachter was their weekly illustrated paper.<22>

Other Nazi publications included

Das Reich, a more moderate and highbrow publication aimed at intellectuals and foreigners;
Der Stürmer, the most virulently antisemitic of all;<23> and
Das Schwarze Korps, an SS publication, aiming at a more intellectual tone.<24>

After Hitler's rise to power in 1933, all of the regular press came under complete Nazi editorial control through the policy of Gleichschaltung, and short-lived propaganda newspapers were also established in the conquered territories during World War II.

Newspapers in occupied countries
In Ukraine, after Nazis cracked down on the papers, most papers printed only articles from German agencies, producing the odd effect of more anti-American and anti-British articles than anti-Communist ones.<25> They also printed articles about antecedents of German rule over Ukraine, such as Catherine the Great and the Goths.<25>
