Don't FOX with local news freepress.net Fox News Channel's political agenda is coming to a television station near you. Roger Ailes, the architect behind the right-wing tilt of cable news, is now remaking 35 local television stations -- broadcasting to nearly 40 percent of Americas homes -- in Fox News Channels image. Tell News Corp "Don't FOX with my local news!" freepress.net Media consolidation made Ailes' takeover of local news possible. News Corp. already owns both a Fox and a UPN affiliate in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago -- the countrys three biggest markets -- and other duopolies in six more of the top 20 markets, including Dallas, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C. Ailes plans to replace local news and information with the biased and inaccurate infotainment thats a hallmark of Fox News Channel. He has already moved oversight of the local station group from Los Angeles to Fox News headquarters in New York. He has flown in local news personalities for retraining on how to deliver the news Fox-style. Read Variety's story on "Jolly Roger's grand plan." freepress.net News Corp's lobbyists are schmoozing officials in Washington to further loosen regulations that prohibit one company from owning even more local news outlets. Instead, we need to break up the big media conglomerates and get higher quality news and information in return for free use of the public's airwaves.
