How Fox News Changed the World
A dive into the long history of television news in America to understand what the conditions were that made Fox News’s emergence possible. We look at what Fox’s underlying social, cultural, and philosophical toolkit and formula looks like. What it’s predecessors were (TVN, Roger Ailes’ consultancy, Nixon’s adverts), Reagan’s rolling back of FCC regulation and the fairness doctrine, the stories that made Fox (Lewinsky Scandal, 9/11, Obama, The Tea Party, Trump), and their post-rational, postmodern methods. Finally, how we counter the O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson playbook. #foxnews 0:00 - Fox News 03:39 - A History of TV News 11:50 - Constructing Nixon 22:09 - A Baby Fox & A King Maker 28:24 - Deregulating the Ideologues 37:06 - Fox News: Fair & Balanced 43:04 - 9/11: The Image of Terror & American Patriots 48:59 - Obama, Birther Movement, & The Fox Party 01:00:31 - Postmodern News 01:03:20 - The Fox News Formula 01:14:04 - A Wider Problem Then & Now is FAN-FUNDED!
