CATO & Fixed News
CATO is a lot like Fox News in that they are really "think tanks," or rather propaganda machines, that are paid to work backward from the point of view that conservative policies are fantastic then produce a product that is supposedly "unbiased." However, with a smack of intellect anyone can see they are fudging their numbers / playing word games.
The sad fact of the matter is that 2 million some Americans will watch this Fixed News crap and love it and call it "credible" no matter how many racist witch hunts they engage in.
The very essence of capitalism keeps them alive; CEO Rodger Ailes has committed to making a billion dollars a year with Fox News & Fox News Talk and so far he done exactly that. Trouble is the way he is making that much money with just broadcasting platforms.
It's bully-tactics applied to news, and something called "oppositional journalism" that was unknown to cable news until these bastards came to town.
I enjoy what Bill Press said about Fox News:
"If one more person complains to me about Rupert Murdoch [or Rodger Ailes] I'm going to scream! We on the left need to start our own Rupert Murdoch."
I've been saying the same for years: money is going to decide The News Wars.
Progressives need some ultra rich backer doing media-battle with Murdoch to even things out a bit.
Microsoft is the man behind the curtain at MSNBC and Monsanto the man behind the curtain at PBS.
So there is room for a truly "progressive network" to do our own "news."
With quotes on it!
