Fox is owned by a foreign based corporation, headed by a man who is an American for convenience only, whose loyalty is not to America but to a foreign country, and who uses his media outlet, dangerously, to divide America, in the pursuit of profit for himself and his shareholders, many of them foreigners. I am speaking of the Australian, Rupert Murdoch. I wonder: Does the man hate America?
The other night on her show on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow did an excellent job of putting the Shirley Sherrod incident into perspective. She showed how the right-wing media, specifically Fox News, race baits to build an audience, by appealing to racism, by stirring up hate and fear, and by pitting white people against black people. She gives several examples of how Fox Cable News has created black boogeymen to scare white people into supporting its agenda, which is to increase its viewership, so that it can make money.
Ms. Maddow points out that right wing media is following the example of racist politicians in the past whom have stirred up white fears to win elections. See the video.
