Fox News 17 th century colonial press in America “The press was not merely partisan; it was at times vile, crude, unjust, more of a blight on the communities to which it reported than a service, a means of inciting more than informing.” –Eric Burns, Infamous Scribblers 21 st century Fox News in America “Fear is precisely what it is selling: The network has relentlessly hyped phantom menaces like the planned "terror mosque" near Ground Zero, inspiring Florida pastor Terry Jones to torch the Koran. To watch even a day of Fox News - the anger, the bombast, the virulent paranoid streak, the unending appeals to white resentment, the reporting that's held to the same standard of evidence as a pre-election attack ad” – Tim Dickinson, Rolling Stone Magazine
