CNN —Few media figures in the last 27 years have had a larger and more profound effect on American political and media life than Rupert Murdoch.
Ailes, who helped Richard Nixon get elected president in 1968, specialized in the political use of media.
Again, Murdoch is not the only reason for the lack of trust in the media and the flood of disinformation and misinformation.
I have been writing about Murdoch and Fox since the 1980s, and have observed that Murdoch was more concerned about money than ideology.
In a commercial sense, Murdoch is an incredibly successful media figure.
