The Role of Rupert Murdoch in Fox News

Rick Wilson-Witt: Rupert Murdoch built Fox by tailoring his tabloid instincts for the desires of his right wing audience. He says in the Obama era, Fox viewers crave something to get excited or even angry about. And Fox gave it to him, even if it meant sometimes airing provably false claims about Obama's background and stoking, thinly veiled racism,. His Murdoch talking about giving not news, but comfort to his target audience. It's really given comfort and voice to the big conservative, the normal American conservative working class people, particularly people in the countryside. They love it.
