Michael wolff why i love fox news

Subscriber Account active since. I'm Nicholas Carlson, the global editor in chief of Insider. Here's the latest installment of my series, The Word Interview, condensed and edited for clarity. Your book makes it clear that Rupert Murdoch despises Donald Trump.

This is surprising given how much his network, Fox News, helps the former president. Why does he allow that to continue? What keeps him from at least setting out broad editorial guidelines like "You must tell the truth"? This is Rupert Murdoch. I know of no instance in the past 70 years when he's ever set out that as a guideline.

That's not the way Rupert runs an organization. It's not the way Rupert sees the function of a news organization. The news organization is something meant to create a narrative that speaks to an audience. I mean, there's no other journalistic standard, really, that goes along with Rupert's idea of journalism. He doesn't really have an idea of journalism.

He's always been willing to propound his own point of view, which is not really represented in Fox. But I don't think he knows what to do with Fox. I think he knows that it makes an enormous amount of money now.

He would not know how to change it in a way that would do what he wants to do and yet continue on its current financial trajectory.

And I think that this is a transition period. View the discussion thread. Skip to main content. Steve Krakauer is the founder and editor of Fourth Watch, a media watchdog newsletter. A must-read political newsletter that breaks news and catches you up on what is happening.

My sources are extremely good and without a doubt on this point. So why is Fox still so attached to him? Would Rupert Murdoch have an alternative to that, that would supply that much money? Hates him. But Rupert loves money.
