Catapulting The Propaganda
October 11, 2005
You Know You've Arrived When ....
.... the opposition cites you as a source! Today on the massively conservative Free Republic website, News Hounds was used as a reference by "Carolinamom," who wrote: "Newhounds has an extensive list w/comments about the omissions on FOX." She then provided a link to our News Corps Hegemony category, which has been meticulously maintained by News Hound Melanie since our inception. Thanks, Melanie! And a BIG "thank you" to you, our dedicated readers. Without your support, none of this would have been possible!

Fox News is owned by News Corporation, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch.
News Corporation has eight main media branches. They are Filmed Entertainment, Television, Cable, Direct Broadcast Satellite Television, including DirecTV, Magazines and Inserts, Newspapers, Books, and Other Assets. Many books, movies and magazines connected to News Corporation are advertised and promoted on Fox News, by Fox anchors and guests.
Below you will find a current, updated list of News Corporation assets promoted on Fox News. Unless otherwise noted, the connection to News Corp. was not mentioned during the promo.
This is important because Fox News has become a 24-hour cable advertising station for its parent company, News Corporation. Whenever you hear someone on Fox complain that another network doesn't claim their parent company's connection to a book author who's appearing on that network, just remember the list below. Check back often. It will grow quickly.
