FOX News is compared unfavorably to the Nazis house organ, Völkischer Beobachter:
The Völkischer Beobachter was since 1920 the newspaper of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). It first appeared weekly, and since February 8, 1923, daily . . . The circulation rose along with the success of the Nazi movement, reaching more than 120,000 in 1931 and 1.7 million by 1944.

Wandering among the stacks, Karl discovered a trove of German newspapers from the 1930s, including the Völkischer Beobachter, the Nazi party's propaganda organ. It was all there in the papers. "Appalling stuff," he recalls . . . Hate speech. Much of it crude, if not outright vicious, but also at times insidiously clever disinformation. But it was also eye-opening . . . "For the first time," he says, "I understood how it was done, how the Germans had become so misguided."

I reject the standpoint that there is in Germany a Catholic and a Protestant press, or a workers' press, or a farmers' press, or a city press or a proletarian press. There exists only a German press.
