Pravda
Glenn Greenwald on CNN.
I know some people consider it hyperbole to compare the behavior of our establishment press corps to Pravda, and sometimes that is hyperbole. But if the Brezhnev-era Soviet Communist government were attempting to convince Russian citizens that they needed more domestic spying powers or greater benefits for government-allied corporations, and they wanted to use Pravda to achieve that end, what would be different? Be specific.

If CNN is Pravda then Fox is The Communist Party's news outlet. Remember, CNN will not stay loyal to the government, only to their conservative masters.
Update:via Matt Yglesias: Fox News Porn and perhaps the other networks are the same.
