As for actual journalists? "**** 'em," Ailes said.

From the horse's mouth!

You can't trust anyone these days. Everyone has an agenda!

This also highlights that journalism itself has moved away from anything neutral or substantive from any side. With increasing regularity its manipulative infotainment at its worst.

I think that Fox and much of cable news has been at the forefront of this transition. And now it has trickled into print and radio as well.

Murdoch, who admits that Fox is not meant to be an unbiased news source, now also owns my favorite national newspaper (WSJ). I can't even pretend that does not make a difference.
