PJ: Every once in a while I find an 'inside the US' report that simply boggles my mind. And since the readers of this blog are from all over the world, I couldn't let this one pass as it gives a glimpse into the workings of the leading cable news station in the US: Fox News. Earlier I posted a revealing expose about the head of the Murdoch empire's Fox New's: its chairman, Roger Ailes. The story painted him as the king of his domain where content on his network is tightly controlled to promote his conservative political agenda and identifies him as the ultimate king-maker in Republican politics. But I'm beginning to wonder if things have shifted at the network. Does everyone follow his direction or is he beginning to follow the direction of Sarah Palin. He built her a studio in her home and she seems to have ultimate freedom to do as she pleases. Can other network personalities claim the same? Is Ailes following her direction now? Is the Network now focused solely on her success? Does she call the shots? Time will tell and it will be interesting to watch the outcome.
Watch for a revealing insight:
