Mr. Keith Rupert Murdoch, Chairman
News America Corporation (t/a Fox News Channel)
1211 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036

To whom it may concern:

First, you will kindly excuse any and all unnecessary intrusion this Open Letter may be causing you in your busy schedule.

Now, may I get to business:

Questions have been raised in a number of circles as to whether Fox News Channel is under the pay and influence of the Republican Party and/or their "friends and associates" among various front groups with ties to Wall Street and "the Four Hundred" they obviously don't want known among the hoi polloi you expect Fox News to pander to: Videlicet, the poor, undereducated or homeschooled and easily-influenced elements of the community.

Who, all along, are expected to accept what Fox News presents as news and information (much of it less than credible or otherwise sugar-coated fluff, as has been widely documented) when you know, and I know--and I know, and you know, that what you're really packaging on Fox News is nothing short of prolefeed.

Prolefeed: As in false, misleading or otherwise inaccurate specimens of news and information made so by deliberate design, and deliberately, yet consciously, targeting the lower elements of society, all along expected to accept such as credible without question or reservation.

With that in mind, perhaps it was time to ask of you some questions as need asking ... questions which "right-thinking Americans" are probably asking, but you are probably (and deliberately) unaware of their being asked in the first place:

1. Have you received, or has Fox News Channel received, any monies from the Republican Party and/or Republican-affiliated entities and "think tanks" to advance or otherwise promote certain "talking points" @ the expense of legitimate news and information?
2. Have you received, or has Fox News Channel received, any monies from various pro-business and anti-tax "front groups" and their affiliated "think tanks" and associations to advance or otherwise promote certain "talking points" @ the expense of legitimate news and information?
3. If the answer to either or both of the preceding questions is "Yes," then:
   1. How much has been received in payments for the aforementioned purposes, and for how long?
   2. Are they paid directly out of the funds of the relevant organisations, from offshore-based "pure trusts" set up solely "for tax reasons," or a combination of the two?
   3. How often are these payments received, and in what form(s) are these payments made--cash, cheques, postal orders, wire transfers, PayPal or suchlike?
   4. Are there incentives made for special bonuses which would be payable if the "talking points" discussed results in such "calls to action" being sought all along? Have such bonuses actually been paid, and if so, when, and in what amounts?
   5. Would such payments be made directly to Fox News Channel accounts, thence to be divided among the relevant hosts and newsreaders (perhaps as "bonuses" over and above their regular paycheques), or are they paid strictly to Fox News for use as they alone shall think proper?
   6. Would these payments be subject to specific terms and conditions imposed by the relevant organisations; i.e., that the details be kept secret and discreet from public attention? If so, what reasons do they have for such secrecy and discretion?
   7. Are such demands for secrecy and discretion preventing you from disclosing such connexions and associations with potentially weird and/or unwholesome elements influencing programme content on Fox News, knowing all the while that such non-disclosure is probably contrary to public interest?
4. What exactly is your justification for female newsreaders and hosts wearing such stylees of dress as have raised questions in these same circles about unnecessary or otherwise inapproriate overtures to sexualisation and/or sexual titillation tending to soft pornography in the Anglo-Australian Page Three stylee? (If you need some enlightenment, please refer to Fox Attacks: Decency and/or Fox News Porn for actual examples. And they are from actual Fox News Channel programming, not Tuxxedo or Spice or Playboy or other adult subscription channels!!)
5. Considering where Fox News is on friendly terms with cultural-conservative elements whose articles of faith speak about what they would call Kulturkrieg ("culture war"), replete with potentially coded anti-Semitic attacks on the entertainment industry for such things as "undermining traditional family values" and "corrupting morals and decency," what exactly justifies that which I have addressed in the preceding point?
6. Are these same elements of cultural conservatism offering Fox News what could best be called "hush money" to keep quiet about the overtures to Page Three among female newsreaders (as addressed in point 4)? How often are these payments made, if @ all, and what forms do they take? And how do we know these payments are not really attempts @ blackmail?
7. Are there deliberate instructions to female hosts and newsreaders requiring them to wear skimpy, provocative or otherwise sexually-titillating dress and/or engage in mannerisms and behaviours which may ordinarily be seen as titillating or sexually-suggestive on camera?
8. Does such a policy excuse, let alone justify, removal of the bottom-of-screen chyrons and captioning solely to attract unnecessary or unhealthy attention upon the reporter vis-a-vis audience members? 
9. Are such policies actually justified by a desire to pander to the lowest instincts of a mostly poor, undereducated or homeschooled and easily-influenced audience, let alone a desire to be "fair and balanced" in the cable-news arena?
10. How do we know such policies aren't exactly in the same league as the Page Three soft-porn pinups of Keith Rupert's Anglo-Australian mass-circulation tabloids (particularly so his British national titles of The Sun and the Sunday News of the World), never mind the obvious concerns cultural conservatives would have otherwise?
11. How do we know that Fox News Channel is not receiving any sort of assistance from the Church of Scientology when it comes to perfecting the techniques of disinformation packaged as "news and information" on Fox News, in particular the meme that liberals and progressives should be considered "fair game" for attack as to their loyalty, patriotism (or want thereof) and "disregard for Traditional American Values," among other patsies oft used in Fox News programming? 
12. Are you now, or have you ever been:
    1. an alcoholic?
    2. a narcotic or hallucinogenic drug addict?
    3. a chronic and habitual spendthrift or gambler?
    4. an undischarged bankrupt?
    5. a wife-beater and/or child-abuser?
    6. diagnosed with a mental illness, defect or disease?
    7. a regular patron of prostitutes or adult-oriented businesses in general?
    8. a confirmed nymphomaniac or sex pervert?
    9. a latent homosexual?
    10. a card-carrying member of a known subversive or otherwise conspiratorial organisation whose articles of faith are or may be contrary to the peace, safety or good order of the community?
    11. subject to police or FBI observation or watch?
    12. having associations or connexions with the Dregs of Society or others considered weird and unwholesome?
    13. declared mentally incompetent, insane or otherwise a "troublemaker"?
13. Have you no sense of Decency, Sir, @ long last?
14. Have you left no sense of Decency, let alone Morals and/or Common Sense?

The American People--the "right-thinking" American People, come to think of it--deserve answers to the preceding questions. And they would like them based solely on facts, not on carefully-scripted bromides and platitudes designed solely to protect yourselves from attracting suspicions in certain influential circles.
