Rove Announcement Shows How Murdoch's Wall Street Journal Buy Affects WSJ and Fox News

Tell A Friend

Fox News has announced that it will have the man who broke the news on their show shortly. That man, Paul Gigot, is the editorial page editor of the WSJ.

It looks like Fox News is the first to have access to Gigot.


It has been the pattern for the White house and the Bush administration to favor it's most faithful television news /stenography network-- FOX News-- with key interviews. It looks like the Wall Street Journal will now be included in the "inside the echo chamber" family. Rove gives the story to the WSJ, boosting it's print sales, then the WSJ provides its editor to Fox News first.

Let's be clear. This is not in any way that I can see tainting or corrupting the actual information or writing of the news. But it does affect who gets it and when and it clearly affects the flow of the first access to breaking news. THis means it also affects which viewers will see the news first.

This single example makes it clear that Fox News TV will benefit dramatically from the WSJ purchase, especially before Murdoch goes live, in October, with his new project Fox Business.
