Republicans spent a war chest and decades spinning culture war propaganda after the Nixon debacle. They wanted to insulate themselves from consequences and destroy any critical media.

That was specifically Dick Cheney and Roger Ailes, who conceived of the Conservative Propaganda Machine, after feeling that the media's liberal bias is what led to Nixon being forced to resign.

Later, Ailes became Rush Limbaugh's producer, and then the head of FoxNews, and Cheney shot his friend in the face.
