Did Fox News cover these anti-Islam marches? I must have missed it.

I don't know. It's been over a year since I've watched Fox News.

The story of Fox News goes back to the days when its founder Roger Ailes worked for President RIchard NixOn.

The liberal media and Nixon were at war with each other because the media wanted a quicker capitulation to the Communists in Vietnam than Nixon was willing to negotiate, among other things.

Nixon’s partisans in the debate including beltway conservatives who supported Barry Goldwater called for ‘FAIR AND BALANCED’ news coverage.

Goldwater’s former close confidant Dean Burch was made chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and on at least two occasions Fairness Doctrine rulings were handed down against Nixon’s media enemies including NBC News which won a partial victory in its federal court appeals.
