I finally figured it out! Fox News is actually the spawn of the movie "Reefer Madness"!

[zulchzulu]

As some may know, the film Reefer Madness (1936) was a propaganda movie delivering the message that marijuana use would lead to all matters of debauchery, sexual perversion and even jazz listening.

The original movie was driven by promoting fear about cannabis and was originally called "Tell Your Children".

Tell Your Children was financed by a church group and intended to be shown to parents as a morality tale attempting to teach them about the dangers of cannabis use. Soon after the film was shot, however, it was purchased by notorious exploitation filmmaker Dwain Esper, who took the liberty of cutting in salacious insert shots and applying the more scandalous title of Reefer Madness, before distributing it on the exploitation circuit. Such education-exploitation films were common in the years following adoption of the stricter version of the Production Code in 1934. Other films included Esper's own Marihuana (1936) and Elmer Clifton's Assassin of Youth (1937), and the subject of cannabis was particularly popular in the hysteria surrounding Anslinger's 1937 Marihuana Tax Act.

So why the connection?

It's simple. Use fear and lies to make people very, very afraid.

And the funny part is... watching Fox News years from now will indeed be as funny as Reefer Madness!
