Question: In what year was the author of "The Fox Effect: How Roger Ailes Turned a Network into a Propaganda Machine" born?
Context: The Beauty of Labour (Schönheit der Arbeit) was a propaganda organisation of the Nazi government from the period 1934 to its eventual disbandment in 1945.  Initially a propaganda machine, the SdA worked bilaterally with its counterpart organisation Strength Through Joy (KdF) to achieve an overall appeasement of the general population.  The Beauty of Labour was one of the many areas that made up the Nazi labour union, the "Deutsche Arbeitsfront" (DAF or "German Labour Front"). The Fox Effect: How Roger Ailes Turned a Network into a Propaganda Machine is a 2012 book written by David Brock and Ari Rabin-Havt.  Brock heads the progressive media watchdog group "Media Matters", the stated mission of which is "to comprehensively monitor, analyze, and correct conservative misinformation in the U.S. media."  The book details the numerous controversies of Fox News, with emphasis on its president, Roger Ailes. For the Record with Greta was a news television program hosted by Greta Van Susteren, which began airing on MSNBC on January 9, 2017.  It was created after she moved from Fox News to MSNBC amidst sexual allegations against Roger Ailes, although she defended him.  She has stated she was "troubled by the culture" at Fox News.  Van Susteren pitched the show as "fair and balanced."  "For The Record" was cancelled on June 29, 2017 after Van Susteren departed MSNBC.  The final episode aired the previous day on June 28, 2017.  The program had lower viewership than comparable shows on MSNBC, which likely contributed to the cancellation. Julius Streicher (12 February 1885 – 16 October 1946) was a prominent member of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) prior to World War II.  He was the founder and publisher of the anti-Semitic newspaper "Der Stürmer", which became a central element of the Nazi propaganda machine.  His publishing firm also released three anti-Semitic books for children, including the 1938 "Der Giftpilz" (translated into English as "The Toadstool" or "The Poisonous Mushroom"), one of the most widespread pieces of propaganda, which warned about insidious dangers Jews posed by using the metaphor of an attractive yet deadly mushroom.  The publishing firm was financially very successful and made Streicher a multi-millionaire. The Fox News Channel (FNC) is an American basic cable and satellite news television channel that was founded by media mogul Rupert Murdoch in 1996.  Murdoch appointed Roger Ailes as permanent CEO of the news operation.  FNC (along with MSNBC) was created as an alternative to CNN.  In January 2002, the ratings of the channel surpassed top-rated CNN to become the #1 news cable channel.  The network has since maintained its #1 cable rating, with increasing viewership and international access helping it become a subject of controversy. The Cuban Revolution was not only fought by armed rebels on the battlefield but also through the propaganda campaigns designed and orchestrated by Fidel Castro and his rebel comrades.  Propaganda in Cuba during revolution included Castro’s use of personal interviews with journalists, radio broadcasts and publicity seeking operations that contributed significantly to the victory of the rebels over Fulgencio Batista’s and provided insight into the successful propaganda campaign established by Castro after gaining power.  The limited yet successful revolutionary propaganda apparatus transitioned into what Castro has called “one of the most potent weapons in his foreign policy arsenal.”  Today the Cuban government maintains an intricate propaganda machine that includes a global news agency, magazines, newspapers, broadcasting facilities, publishing houses, front groups, and other miscellaneous organizations that all stem from the modest beginnings of Castro’s revolutionary propaganda machine.
