I'm kinda flabbergasted at some of the replies here. This isn't a new thing. Fox didn't invent it. It's been successfully used by both sides of the aisle for at least a century. The Chicago Tribune has been a predominantly Republican paper ever since there was a Republican party. Hearst papers created the Spanish American War and got us to take over the Philippeans. The New York Times killed countless stories leading up to WWII that kept the active war in the Atlantic a secret in 1940-41.
