I thought I’d resurrect this classic given the 50th anniversary of Watergate and the comparisons being made to the January 6 hearings. As I wrote earlier, it’s worth remembering that the origins of Fox News can be traced back to the Nixon White House. The Nixon administration wanted more favorable coverage in the media and hatched the idea of creating a pro-GOP “news” network. Roger Ailes offered to do it, though it took some 25 years for the network to actually materialize. And the rest, as they say, is history.
