In a recent panel on modern media at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Rupert Murdoch, owner of News Corporation, admitted publicly that his company deliberately tried to use Fox News to sway public opinion in support of the Iraq war.

This basically confirms from the horse's mouth what most of us already suspected all along: that Fox News is a propaganda machine for the Bush administration. It's sick. From the article:

"Where is the outrage? Where are the calls to disband this mammoth and unlawful propaganda machine? ...Think of the precedent this sets for any other wealthy and ambitious ideologue that seeks to manipulate public opinion... ...And it can not be tolerated! Not by any standard of journalistic ethics. Not by a nation that values a free press so much that it incorporated that freedom into its Constitution."

I'm inclined to agree.
