Your Passport to Murdochia

This week NPR’s David Folkenflik is joining us to discuss the inner workings of the Murdoch media empire, the scandals that racked the company in the UK, the King Lear-like drama with his family, the perfection of bamboozlement as business model ™ in the US with Roger Ailes’ dukedom at Fox News. He’s got a fascinating piece up today about how Murdoch and Ailes built the Obama-era scream machine at Fox News. At noon on Friday, Folkenflik will be joining us at The Hive (sub req) to answer your questions about the inner-workings of Fox News, Ailes and all things Murdoch. Get your questions in now and then join us at noon on Friday.
