How the Head of Fox News Is Making Americans More Right-Wing, More Ignorant and Ever More Terrified - Digg

How the Head of Fox News Is Making Americans More Right-Wing, More Ignorant and Ever More Terrified - Digg: "Even his boss Rupert Murdoch is afraid of Roger Ailes. At the Fox News Chrismas party the year the network overtook arch-rival CNN in the cable ratings, tipsy employees were herded down to the basement of a midtown bar in New York. As they gathered around a television mounted high on the wall, an image flashed to life, glowing bright in the darkened tavern: the MSNBC logo. A chorus of boos erupted among the Fox faithful. The CNN logo followed, and the catcalls multiplied. Then a third slide appeared, with a telling twist. In place of the logo for Fox News was a beneficent visage: the face of the network's founder. The man known to his fiercest loyalists simply as 'the Chairman' – Roger Ailes. 'It was as though we were looking at Mao,' recalls Charlie Reina, a former Fox News producer."

"On July 12, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow did a segment highlighting some of their more bizarre claims in a series of video clips. These included Wagner saying that the Japanese stock market collapsed because the emperor had sex with a demon (the sun goddess), another leading NAR figure, John Benefiel, calling the Statue of Liberty 'a demonic idol', and a third figure, Mike Bickle, calling Oprah Winfrey 'a forerunner to the Harlot movement', or, as Maddow put it, a 'harbinger of the antichrist'.

But these aren't just a collection of random bizarre claims. As researcher Rachel Tabachnick - who's been studying NAR since 2008 - wrote the day after: 'These video clips should receive much more national exposure, but they need to be viewed in context of the movement they represent.'

Not your father's religious right

Encompassing a variety of organisations and networks of activist groups, the NAR is not just concerned about particular issues, such as abortion or gay rights, or even about so-called 'values', which is the impression that even Goodstein's 2008 story left with readers.

Rather, the NAR is committed to replacing democracy with a religious dictatorship, which it sees as a necessary prelude for Christ's return to earth."
