As John Berger believes:.
Capitalism survives by forcing the majority, whom it exploits, to define their own interests as narrowly as possible.
Ailes, the "amusingly ferocious Republican media genius," by nature had politics on his mind. Nevertheless, politics" best friend, money, unquestionably played its own part in the initiative. While changing the standard face of media completely, he was also appealing to a new market. His stance to portray "Fair and Balanced" coverage would appeal to conservatives and liberals alike, creating the potential for a hugely successful network. In addition, it can be argued that FNN is not changing who watches which network, but who watches any of the cable media networks altogether. Previously, the well known conservatism associated with radio talk shows had consistently gathered an audience of conservatives and upper class elites, contradicting the cable television viewers, who's more leisurely lifestyles preferred the more liberal stance .
Some may say that Ailes is even manipulating the public by maintaining an excessively conservative view of the news by endorsing and creating programs such as the "The O"Reilly Factor" with Bill O"Reilly. His trademark "No Spin Zone" ensures a total conservative stance not to be spun around into the defense of a leftist view in any form. In this, O"Reilly has managed to take the stiff republican views of a conservative radio talk show such as Rush Limbaugh's self entitled show by incorporating them into the Fox News Network. .
STEVE RENDALL: Our problem with Fox isn't that it comes from the right. In a healthy media culture, you would have media outlets coming from all kinds of points of view, but getting their facts straight. The problem with Fox is that they claim to be "fair and balanced" but are really airing a lot of ideological opinions. .
With all this contradiction, a debate whether a liberal media actually exists can be argued.
