FAUX News Makes Stuff Up?

At Media Matters: FAUX NEWS INSIDER- “Stuff Is Just Made Up”.
A former Faux News employee who recently agreed to talk with Media Matters confirmed what critics have been saying for years about Murdoch’s cable channel.
Namely, that Faux News is run as a purely partisan operation, virtually every news story is actively spun by the staff, its primary goal is to prop up repugicans and knock down Democrats, and that staffers at Faux News routinely operate without the slightest regard for fairness or fact checking.  
“It is their M.O. to undermine the administration and to undermine Democrats,” says the source. “They’re a propaganda outfit but they call themselves news.”
And that’s the word from inside Faux News.
Everyone knows this is true, but interviewing a person who refuses to be identified is not the best way to make a case.
