Faux “News” is NOT a “real” news organization — it is a political POOP-aganda machine.
In a 15-page memo from 1970, that had been in storage at the Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda that has now been released, it was revealed that Roger Ailes started planning Faux “News” while working for Nixon. As a top Republican party strategist, Ailes engineered the election of Nixon, and later Reagan and George H.W. Bush before officially leaving his Republican party political role and establishing Faux “News” with the stated intent, expressed in his 1970 memo, of creating a Republican POOP-aganda machine disguised as a news outlet.
There has never ever been a similar instance where a former top political strategist of a political party was the head of a television news department. (ABC had Diane Sawyer [a deputy press secretary for Nixon] and George Stephanopoulos [media spokesperson for Clinton], but neither was actual head of the news department, and the two — Republican and Democrat — balanced each other out.)
