CNN Plays a Six-Minute Montage of Fox News Clips: ‘A Small Taste of its Mission, 25 Years in the Making’

‘But instead, stoking division seemed to become Murdoch’s mission’

EXCERPT:

PHILLIP: "Good evening, everyone. I’m Abby Philip. Rupert Murdoch is stepping down as CEO of Fox News tonight. His legacy is outrage porn, partisan red meat, stoking relentless culture wars. But it all started with what you could argue is a noble vision to create a center-right news network, to elevate more perspectives that aren’t based in Gotham or in Washington. But instead, stoking division seemed to become Murdoch’s mission. So did power and so did the money. Fox became a mouthpiece for Republican administrations, a mouthpiece, really, for Donald Trump, and eventually a vehicle for his baseless conspiracies. Before we discuss this tonight, it's important to really illustrate just a small taste of this mission, 25 years in the making."
