Forget who sponsors Beck - who controls Fox?

[hedgehog]

Is it Rupert Murdoch? why is he doing this (spewing right wing lies 24/7)? Does he really believe this stuff or is he just in it for the money?

Someone issues the daily Republican talking points. None of the obvious players seem to be in charge. So who is the man behind the curtain?

1. Roger Ailes - the asshole who brought you the Willie Horton ads.

2. Very good question!

Do we follow the money?

3. Follow the money trail, right to the top! n/t

4. There's a Saudi prince who sponsors terrorism calling some of the shots. n/t

9. When you have that much money

Why not pay a major American network to run attack pieces on 9/11 victim families.

5. Good point

Beck is just in this for the money IMO. Same for Limbaugh. And Ann Coulter. And of course Palin.

They all want to be rich.

Murdoch and Ailes want to be the richest and the most powerful. Even if Palin were President, she'd answer to Murdoch and Ailes IMO.

6. Id put most of it on Roger Ailes at this point

[hedgehog]

7. Does Ailes own any of the network, or does he work for someone else?

I realize I could look this up someplace, but I think it's important that we all start asking these questions. I think we're getting distracted by the puppets when we should be going after the puppet master(s).

10. He is an employee of Rupert Murdoch

Ultimately, Murdoch is responsible for what Roger Ailes puts on FoxNews.

[BlooInBloo]

8. Ailes.

[Orsino]

11. Why? Consolidation of power.

That is the reason Fox does everything.

[NotThisTime]

12. Murdoch owns it & he does it for the money
