Fox News is rigged!
May 28, 2017 at 9:40 pm
Quote:Fox’s ratings continue to struggle and their ongoing failure to cover Donald Trump in a truly fair and unbalanced fashion, is reflective of their history of sensationalizing news in ways that is pleasing to their alt-right base, but not in line with best practices.
Now, someone with inside knowledge as to how things work at Fox, has come forward to share his perspective and in essence, blow the whistle on some foul play. Network contributor Tobin Smith is levying some serious allegations; he says Fox’s commentary is rigged and scripted such that the alt-right, super conservation perspective, always wins.
In a piece entitled, FEAR & UNbalanced: Confessions of a 14-Year Fox News Hitman, Smith wrote that Fox News founder and former CEO said that he started the network for white males, ages “55 to dead.” According to Smith, Ailes knew just what his target demographic wanted to see:
‘They want to see YOU tear those smug condescending know-it-all East Coast liberals to pieces, limb by limb, until they jump up out of their La-Z-boy and scream “Way to go Toby…you KILLED that libtard!”’
The timing of Tobin Smith’s decision to write about his experiences with Fox may be suspicious, but his claims of the network playing groups, especially white nationalists, against the grim realities of the complexities of matters of skin color in America, are real. Smith’s full blog may be read here.

Those of us who use our brain matter already knew that Faux news was biased to begin with. This really isn't anything new.

Except that now someone who worked with Fox News for fourteen years has supplied information.
Of course, Fox News will do everything to deny it.

Rigged? It's completely one sided and always has been. As someone once noted about Rush Limbaugh, his job is to scare dumb white men when they climb into their trucks. Fox merely took that to a whole new level.
