were the interviews designed to advance the agenda of fox or the white house?
i dont feel as it would be credible to say fox news interviewed obama and he was allowed to steer his agenda
at best he would be allowed to defend his agenda while pretending to not be annoyed.
if it went different than this i will be interested to know

They air on the FOX channel not FOX News.

NBC just did it with Savanna Guthrie during this year's Super Bowl

Michael Moore had a show on Fox TV and said that Murdoch didn't care much about his views as long as he made money off the show.

Fox NEWS works differently since their ad revenue is so low and their demos are 68 year-old men. Fox News brokers political power and issue framing for gains that are realized outside the balance sheet of Fox News.

The only way we know Faux Noise is "fair and balanced" is because they continually tell us. Much like they have to continually remind us they aren't racist.

Anyone else remember him? The ineffectual token liberal that even an ignoranus like Sean Hannity could make look like, well, an ineffectual token liberal.

It made me sick to have to hear him when I had to spend time living with family members who blared Faux News at high volumes all day and night. I grew to despise him almost as much as Hannity. He was such a phony. I can't believe they expected anyone to believe he was anything but a decoy/plant. He was awful.

They would never let a Mike Malloy type of person on the channel, they prefer people that don't know shit about investigative journalism.

Never saw that person on TV since I don't have one and never watched a youtube clip either so I can't honestly say if they are advancing their agenda or not.
