Outfoxed.

I always knew that the FOX Network was more on the conservative side, but I never knew it was this bad! I was shocked that some of the people, especially the man on the phone at the beginning, were so terrified of Murdoch that they would not reveal their identities. Also, I found it interesting when O'Donnell exposed that the turning point of the FOX Network towards complete conservatism was when Murdoch called the station and ordered them to play a tribute to Ronald Reagan instead of reporting the news. O'Donnell pointed out that after that, the station was completely devoted to Republican propaganda and conservative viewpoints. I think it's terrifying how much power Murdoch has in our country and how influential his viewpoints are due to the FOX Network. Thank God there is at least the more liberal CNN to balance it out. From now on, I am just going to switch back in forth between FOX and CNN and just believe that I can create a "happy medium" in my own thoughts.
