My argument that journalism is dead at Fox News just got a whole lot easier to make. Yesterday, I was pointing out Howard Kurtz’s story on how ‘journalists’ at the propaganda factory were upset over Glenn Beck’s demagoguery. It’s sort of like a high school slut chiding a professional hooker for being too easy. The [...]
Unpredictable. Unbelievable. Unhinged. Rachel Marsden, the former Canadian Ann Coulter wannabe once featured on Red Eye, has taken another bizarre turn. Is she sleezing it up again with the founder of Wikipedia? Sending nude pics to newspapers again? Harrassing more ex boy toys? Nope, nope, and nope.

If the head of any news organization mocked President [...]
“The only question is whether we depict Willie Horton with a knife in his hand or without it.” – Roger Ailes
“There are four things the media are interested in. They’re interested in polls, they’re interested in pictures, they’re interested in mistakes, and they’re interested in attacks.” – Roger Ailes
I learned something yesterday. Fox News might [...]
