Review
"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

Since all opinions are now characterized by your political leanings, I will disclose that I've voted Republican my entire life until the Barak Obama. election. The extreme right wing of the Republican party has overtaken common sense (demonstrated throughout this book) and leaves no place for a centrist like me. Therefore I am an independent, definitely not a Democrat but now I attempt to vote against anything the right wing supports.This book lays out the assault on true journalism under the guise of liberal bias. And while I don't argue there may be some bias, labeling everything someone doesn't agree with as bias is astounding to me. Charting the full course, this book really picks up steam leading to the 2010 election showing the McCarthy tactics used against Acorn and the lady accused of racism concerning a white GA farmer which eventually cost her her job. I was aware that the farm executive was incorrectly accused. Reading this book was the first time I had heard a counterbalancing story of Acorn. I choose at this time to form no opinion on the Acorn issue without further facts.Further time is spent on hiring political candidates prior to the election and fundraising and cheer leading on Fox by the opinion shows purported to be news. I know quite a few journalists, mostly in sports, and have great respect for the profession. But rather than this book shaking that belief to its core, my conclusion is that Fox is just not journalism. Something even Ailes admits in closing statements in the book.This is a fascinating read but may not be worth your time. It can be long winded and is repetitive in nature as it attempts to chronologically build its case. Personally, I generally don't like books that present only one side of a story as is done here.I choose to close with a quote from an architect friend in another country where I have a home, "we love America. We hate your politics". This from the father of a child whose dream was to visit the states and I was fortunate to arrange this twice. Watching him learn of our country was a true delight. But our we killing our dream? When someone always has to be right and shouting and not listening becomes the norm, is this America? I worry for my country and the mentality of fringes on BOTH sides run the risk of destroying our great land. This book discusses in length a negative force abusing the freedoms in America, Fox News. There are better ways to present your arguments
Why didn't the Beltway media see what Fox "News" was up to as soon as the rest of us? Was it really that hard? I realize they're reporters and have to present the patina of objectivity but come on. Defending them when they were called on it? I sort of wish we would just ignore them. They don't deserve the validity of their arguments.This book is thoroughly researched and well cited. The authors presented the facts without much opinion, quite frankly I would have preferred some but I guess I'll have to suffice with my own outrage.Everyone should read this book.
The Fox Effect is a tawdry tale of the Right's attempt to sell the American public a "story." And sadly, far too many people have bought the bill of goods these "story tellers", aka entertainers put on the airwaves. Propaganda is a bit too nice a word to describe the vile nature of much that goes on with this network. Another nonsense organization that is on the airwaves as a direct result of President Richard Nixon's elimination of the "fairness in broadcasting" doctrine that used to temper anyone on the airwaves. You think Rush "the class clown" Limbaugh has anything meaningful to say, really?
I disagree with many of the reviewers. I don't view this book as political. I read it hoping it might provide proof that Fox is intentional in its distortion, something that I've suspected but never been able to prove. I'm not really big on left or right wing politics but I am interested in whether the masses are getting accurate news or propaganda.I read 'The Economist' for news rather than watch TV. I never considered intentional distortion of the news until I watched Jon Stewart showing various Fox broadcasters using the same exact descriptive language in the span of a day. Specifically, all the Fox anchors abandoned the term "Public Option" when discussing what eventually became Obamacare in favor of a new term, namely, "Government Run Healthcare." Again, all Fox anchors made this switch on a single day. Anybody who has watched Stewart's show knows that this happens a lot on Fox. Thinking that there's too much coincidence involved,the only explanation I could think of was that certain terms come down to the anchors right from the top.Whether one is left or right in their political beliefs, it is disturbing if the language used by news broadcasters is manipulated by someone higher up at a network. This book provides footnoted proof that such shenanigans go on regularly at Fox. Worse, some anchors have raised money on the air for political rallies. Compare this with MSNBC firing Olberman because he donated money to political causes. For anyone who compares MSNBC with Fox, this is a huge difference.The book provides footnoted documentation of what appears to be a very good case of Fox moving into propaganda rather than the news. Can you imagine some CBS executive in the 1970's telling Walter Cronkite which language to use? "Hey Walter, make sure you say 'government run health care' instead of 'public option' today." Ha Ha.Some of the reviewers posting about this book sound angry, whether on the left or right. I don't see the need for anger or for love toward this book. It is not edited extremely well but the ideas are important, so I gave it 4 stars. If investigative journalism and accountability of news organizations becomes extinct, I will be scared for our future a lot more than whether Romney or Obama is elected.I have highly educated friends who believe Fox is under attack by left wingers. They believe that Fox is fair and balanced. I can't stomach such certainty. Now I am armed with this book, which provides footnoted proof that there is serious manipulation and dishonesty in a major news organization.We all need to fight and argue when we hear that there is dishonesty by a news organization. We need to help discredit intentional inaccuracy because if we don't, we'll some day be electing fascists. Especially in a country where more people have heard of Kim Kardashian than Joe Biden.
I often wondered why every time I switched over to any of the Fox channels, they would be saying something negative about our President. It just didn't add up. Than I read this book. Joesph Goebbels would be proud. This book suggests how Roger Allen formed the Fox channel into his person outlet on his political agenda. Good reading, but bad results: Fox could be so much more, like replace the CNN network. But is seems lost into its own message.
