4. Fox produced news reels in the early 20s, 30s
News is an old business for Fox. Happened long before evil Rupert Murdoch ever appeared on the scene. Long before TV even.

(Didn't you post this same question months ago in DU1? Or is this a mistaken case of déjà vu?)

5. Those Newsreels were PROPOGANDA....So Faux news shouldn't shock anyone
Looking back, my grandmother used to tell me, "People in the USA will listen to everything and anything the government tells them, basically because they're the government and they wouldn't lie to us. We're their bosses." Then she'd laugh this beautiful laugh and go..."SUCKERS!" Oh, and she told the best dirty jokes. LOL

6. It's all about entertainment...
And many of the stories have no basis in reality.
