Kind of like the "follow the money" of the Watergate scandal, CNN uncovers the Nixon/Ailes memos on creation of a pro-right wing government propaganda machine to masquerade as a "broadcast news" outlet.
Seeds sown for creation of "Fox News" in Nixon White House.
Matches up perfectly with Murdoch's right wing political beliefs.
And the use of access to government "newsmakers" both overt, Cheyney, Rumsfeld, and other Iraq war promotoers and covert with the leaks of "high government officials" and just plain access. "Exclusive coverage to get the public attention.
Interesting that it was developed to promote war and hide the truth of the war. Vietnam in Nixon cases with Pentagon Papers, used effectively to sell Iraq war and hide fact that no WMD, no Al-Qaeda, no Iraqi threat.
