Roger Ailes is one of the greatest forces in modern (cable) television when he headed Fox News Channel owned and funded by Australian-American media mogul: Rupert Murdoch. This media investment was exclusively founded to counter liberal bias in the media. Already, the Conservative media had dominated radio talk-shows led by Rush Limbaugh--from the Reagan years. So, if they could do the same thing on television, the counter-force of liberation or domination on talk-show radio and cable television would be complete. It was. Defeat of Al Gore who almost was destined to be president was the biggest prize claimed by conservative media propagandism. The Clinton administration impeachment and the racy high crimes and misdemeanors were all total packages of an electoral strategy deftly designed by Neo-Cons at the Heritage Foundation and allies, sold through Fox News Network. It worked. The Fox News-led political landscape almost created a Red State America boosted by 9-11 reverberations that boosted Bushmania. But, Iraq War undermined the gains. MSNBC, John Stewart, Internet and Social Media, etc., are a major factor. Igonikon Jack
