Tell me this isn’t so.
This type of thing seems to always happen. I remember back in the early 80s there was hostility on the left toward CNN. Ted Turner was actually something of a conservative back then. He put Jerry Falwell on SuperStation TBS. And CNN, in its early days, was fairly well balanced. But seemingly overnight, Turner became a radical lefty. He booted Falwell off TBS and turned CNN sharply leftward.
A lot of foundations that were originally founded by free enterprise, pro-American businessmen were likewise taken into radical leftist territory when the founders’ spoiled rotten heirs took over.
It would be all too typical for FOX to build itself a good audience by being more balanced than the other news outlets, and then to move lockstep in a leftist direction.
OK, it isn't so.
PSYYYYYCHE!
