Roger Ailes and the rise of Fox News | Media | The Guardian

Roger Ailes and the rise of Fox News | Media | The Guardian

As you read this article by Tim Dickinson, note the militarism, as in this paragraph:
"Fox News did its part to make sure that viewers lined up behind those harsh measures. The network plastered an American flag in the corner of the screen, dolled up one female anchor in a camouflage-print silk blouse, and featured 
Geraldo Rivera threatening to hunt down Osama bin Laden with a pistol. The militarism even seemed to infect the culture of Fox News. "Roger Ailes is the general," declared Bill O'Reilly. "And the general sets the tone of the army. Our army is very George Patton-esque. We charge. We roll."" JFG
