What fascinates me is that Rupert Murdoch couldn't come up with a
original concept for Newscorp.
All he did was study the history of the the Hearst newspapers with their
yellow journalism and fixation on violence, muckraking, and sexual
stories, watched "Citizen Kane" around a dozen times to make sure he was
getting everything right, then aped the whole thing without adding
anything to it on his own.
Even Glenn Beck is the actual realization of Howard Beale out of the
movie "Network", as he himself has admitted more than once.
That movie was supposed to be a warning; not a "how-to" manual.
While Fox News is supposed to be a great friend of the Republican Party,
when all is said and done they might be one of the major sources of its
destruction...to make a quick buck.
