In the journalism business, the journalism trade, you work out what your market is and you produce your best product you can possibly produce for that target market.
The success of Fox News throughout its entire history has been to provide the absolute best news and opinion for a market we believe is firmly center-right. And we don’t pivot or change that. And we haven’t pivoted or changed that throughout the history of Fox News. So, we’ll continue to provide the best journalism with the best hosts with the best analysis with the best opinions going forward, as we have throughout the past news cycles.
Murdoch continued by stating,
We believe where we’re targeted, to the center right, is exactly where we should be targeted. We don’t need to go further right. We don’t believe America is further right, and we’re obviously not going to pivot left.
Normally Fox News leads the pack when it comes news ratings, but recent weeks saw a 13% decline, and are now behind CNN which is owned by AT&T, and MSNBC which is owned by NBC Universal which is owned by parent company Comcast.
Disney has a 60% majority share in Fox Corporation.
Fox News’ CEO Suzanne Scott recently signed a multi-year contract extension with Fox News.
Fox News is in the midst of a law suit filed against them by election data firm Smartmatic to the tune of $2.7 billion. The company is suing Fox because they claim that Fox hosts suggested their systems help throw the election in favor of Biden.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
This isn’t journalism. This is not fair and honest reporting. These are not objective facts with objective writers and analysts. This is all about peddling to a target audience and presenting information that is appeasing to a specific group.
And did you catch how those quotes by Murdoch were worded? If their ratings were to fall to astronomical amounts – guaranteed they would jump ship and start pandering to whatever will make them the most money. But since they have their sweet spot, why deviate?
The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. They’re about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover.
Al Franken
The newspaper that obstructs the law on a trivial pretext, for money’s sake, is a dangerous enemy to the public weal. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse.
Mark Twain
I am reporting on this because it demonstrates just how fake the media is; not just Fox, but all the mainstream outlets. One outlet makes their money propagandizing the liberal-progressives, while many others manipulate the conservative-“patriots.” This is all so-called journalism and reporting is: just report the things that a specific group wants to hear.
A partial truth is a whole lie.
Fox News is fake like all the rest. They are just as guilty as scrubbing the truth as CNN or any other mainstream outlet for that matter. Like last year when they abruptly cut off Trump administration Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany for just giving her speech on fairly counting votes. Or when they cut off Newt Gingrich for rightly calling out George Soros’ involvement with Antifa. And we all saw how Chris Wallace “moderated” the first presidential debate between Trump and Biden. Or their continued downplaying of the current shape of the economy.
This is more of the evidence of the Hegelian Dialectic at work. Outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, BuzzFeed, New York Times, BBC, Huffington Post, The Daily Show, Vox, Vice, (the “fact checkers”), etc., brainwash and manipulate the leftists and only tell them the information that that audience wants to hear. And outlets such as Fox, Newsmax, One America News Network (OAN), Breitbart, The Blaze, The Daily Wire, The Epoch Times, The Federalist, Daily Mail, Washington Times, etc,. propagandize and hypnotize the republicans and so-called “patriots.”
The strong majority of people in this country are totally SUBJECTIVE to what their respected outlet presents to them. They never get just the straight facts and are allowed then to OBJECTIVELY think for themselves and come to their conclusions and opinions. Most people tune in to watch the opiniated segments the most because the broad masses have lost the ability to critically think and discern for themselves. The media wants and must control you. This is why when you try to have a conversation with the average joe nowadays, they only know what their media outlet tells them to think.
There is a reason why people like Joe Rogan continually increase in popularity. The WinePress does not endorse him, but I mention him because Rogan will literally have anyone on his podcast and talk for hours and hours about stuff that is diametrically opposed to each other throughout the week, and Rogan is fair to everyone’s views.
To do a bit of self-promotion and explanation to new WinePress readers, The WinePress’ bias is to the King James Bible which Jesus said,
[17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.[31] Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; [32] And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.John 17:17, 8:31-32
We want to present the truth. You will never find many of things we have reported on in mainstream press or any other Christian ministry and outlet. We give you the report and I discuss the report. You do not have to accept my opinion. God has given you your own brain: use it. We are not going to withhold facts and data because we do not like it: we are going to present the report and then compare it with the scriptures and give any additional details and opinions. We are OBJECTIVE, not SUBJECTIVE.
Hopefully this report shows you just fraudulant the vast majority of news outlets are. They report only for thing and one thing only: MONEY $$$.
[9] But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. [10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.1 Timothy 6:9-10

My dad, Tony, was a journalist for many, many years. He was in various printed newspapers in my home county of Huron, back in Michigan. I THINK he was a Democrat, but I really don’t know, as as far as I could tell, my dad was only interesting in getting THE STORY, without any “slant” to it, simply whatever the facts were! What they do on these various news outlets now, the “slanting” of the news, would undoubtedly irritate my dad to no end!
