Тоби Смит много лет подвизался на Fox News в качестве платного комментатора и был уволен в 2013. Недавно, после смерти Роджера Эйлса, он поделился занятными воспоминаниями о разговорах с Эйлсом и о том, как Fox News организовывало подставные дебаты:

“What does our viewer look like?
“They look like me…white guys in mostly Red State counties who sit on their couch with the remote in their hand all day and night.”
“What do they want to see”
“They want to see YOU tear those smug condescending know-it-all East Coast liberals to pieces . . limb by limb . . . until they jump up out of their LaZ boy and scream “Way to go Toby…you KILLED that libtard!”

Неизвестно, насколько сильны были консервативные убеждения Роджера Эйлса, но он несомненно был циником, который хорошо понимал, как работает телевидение и как подсадить на свой канал целевую аудиторию, чтобы максимизировать прибыль от рекламы. Из той же заметки:

Key Point: the viewer’s rage set their brain’s pleasure giving dopamine delivery system into high gear . . .and when their fellow conservative protagonist tribal hero (aka me the hitman) turned the liberal’s own words against them and vanquished the sniveling apostate into living hell on live TV…WOW…the pleasure chemical rushed through the Fox viewer's brain like a deep hit of crack cocaine (btw its the dopamine system in the brain that cocaine stimulates and makes it so addictive).



Рэйчел Мэддоу, которая окучивает либеральную аудиторию, в том числе успешным освоением Рашагейта, неизменно отзывалась об Эйлсе с уважением, отдавая должное его профессионализму. Он платил ей взаимностью:

Among your competitors, is there any talent you particularly admire?
I think Rachel Maddow has been a surprise to a lot of people. She wouldn't really work at this network because she wouldn't even come in the door, but on a personal level, I like her. I don't want to hurt her career, so I won't say we get along, but I've had dialogue with her, and she's very smart. She has adapted well to the television medium.

Журнал Intercept был основан Гленном Гринвальдом, который прославился публикациями материалов Эдварда Сноудена, а ныне является одним из ведущих путиноскептиков.

On Carlson’s program, Greenwald attacked the Washington Post for reporting that the CIA and the FBI believed Russia’s hacking was intended to help Trump win. It is a remarkable segment that merits close reading. “Should we believe that assessment?” asked Carlson. “We should be extremely skeptical of it for multiple reasons,” replied Greenwald. “These are assertions that are being made unaccompanied by any evidence whatsoever.”

Сноуден, однако, оказался не последним героем. Сегодня Intercept публикует секретный документ АНБ, в котором приводятся свидетельства того, что российские спецслужбы (спецподразделения ГРУ) пытались взломать не только электронную почту демократов, но также избирательные системы и машины для подсчета голосов на выборах.



The NSA has now learned, however, that Russian government hackers, part of a team with a “cyber espionage mandate specifically directed at U.S. and foreign elections,” focused on parts of the system directly connected to the voter registration process, including a private sector manufacturer of devices that maintain and verify the voter rolls. Some of the company’s devices are advertised as having wireless internet and Bluetooth connectivity, which could have provided an ideal staging point for further malicious actions.
