The Fox Effect: How Roger Ailes Turned a Network into a Propaganda Machine - Softcover

"It's the truth, stupid. That's Brock, Rabin-Havt and Media Matters' message and it's a pretty darn good one."
--James Carville

"Media Matters tells the truth-and then spreads the truth far and wide. They are a leading and effective voice in combating misinformation. This latest book, by founder David Brock, makes clear the threat that incendiary journalism poses to our democracy."
--Nancy Pelosi

"This pointed study of modern politics is both a must-read and a cautionary tale."
--Senator John F. Kerry

"Think of any conservative-media scandal of the past few years. . . and it's a good bet that a Media Matters researcher flagged the offending clip, uploaded it to the group's website, and got the party started."
--New York Magazine

"Fox News has created a generation of woefully (and objectively) misinformed ideological sycophants to pursue its radical agenda. It's no accident. Now David Brock and Ari Rabin-Havt show that no matter how unethical and dishonest you think Fox News is, the reality is that they're much, much worse."
--Markos Moulitsas, publisher, Daily Kos

A leading news watchdog organization presents a cautionary exposé of how FoxNews has evolved into an aggressive partisan advocate for the Republican party, citing the roles of Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch in promoting agendas that contrast with traditional standards of fairness and objectivity.
