Asked what most viewers and observers of Fox News would be surprised to learn about the controversial cable channel, a former insider from the world of Rupert Murdoch was quick with a response: “I don’t think people would believe it’s as concocted as it is; that stuff is just made up.”
Indeed, a former Fox News employee who recently agreed to talk with Media Matters confirmed what critics have been saying for years about Murdoch’s cable channel. Namely, that Fox News is run as a purely partisan operation, virtually every news story is actively spun by the staff, its primary goal is to prop up Republicans and knock down Democrats, and that staffers at Fox News routinely operate without the slightest regard for fairness or fact checking.
“It is their M.O. to undermine the administration and to undermine Democrats,” says the source. “They’re a propaganda outfit but they call themselves news.”
And that’s the word from inside Fox News.

No, that's the word from a FORMER (nameless) employee--
as if the other networks are such pristine sources of truth.
Remember "Rathergate?"
Falsified documents against a presidential candidate.
"If they were legitimate, they would be true" he says..
This sounds like an ex-employee with an ax to grind.
But anybody who takes any of the MSM at face value is foolish, regardless of who they are.
