First there was Rush, and then came Fox News/Fox Business. The tracks they ran on were mostly parallel. People who never even heard of Rush Limbaugh were tuning in to FNC and noticed how the content was close to home, and how opinions and conclusions were at least similar to their own. Ditto heads found the same thing in Rush and his show when they started listening to talk radio long before 1996 and advent of the “Fair, Balanced and Unafraid” approach. I really miss those occasional Hannity segments with Rush on the Ditto Cam and I think Fox Biz had him on a few times...When Ailes and the EIB network got together on something it was truly remarkable and that would’ve coincided with peak FR as well.
Newsmax is far superior then Fox Murdoch ha made Fox CMM lite.
He’s pro democrat and hates Trump.
I remember Rush’s television programme had as its executive producer Roger Ailes. Fox News was the successor to the WYFF show after it ended in 1996. Roger Ailes was the “true north” of Rush and Fox News.
After his death, these deliberate films attacking Fox (and even the one on Amazon attacking Trump) targeted Ailes to destroy his legacy so history books will only write a pro-Obama view that destroys the Ailes/Limbaugh legacy.
I’d love to see a “Best of” special of the Rush TV shows. I think a lot of it would still ring true...Like about 98+ percent of it.
Kathryn and Tegna have to approve.
when Ailes left fox, I left fox.
I watch FOX Business clips on Youtube. I don’t watch Fox News at all.
