I hadn't heard much about this guy until a recent RS article. They can't be trusted on objective music info anymore but their political stuff is still spot on most of the time. This guy and Murdoch don't get along which I also didn't realize. Ailes(Fox boss) is the guy who advised Reagan to focus on happy rhetoric instead of facts and figures when he was running the second time. Evidently Murdoch, megalomaniac that he is, even has issues with Ailes' tactics.
From the beginning, fair and balanced was an executed spin to promote conservative policies. It's about like Karl Rove promoting a democrat...They've been caught at least twice recently manipulating recordings to cause news 'producing' to take on a whole new level of bullshit. this is pretty much a DUH. I just didn't realize how crooked they are and the audio tampering etc...has more than likely been going on since they've been on the air.
