They say, "Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel."

It would be nice if the Post would do some investigating of the Sharpton Shakedowns and whatever other sources of funds the guy has; and maybe include some digging on the taxes he has paid or hasn't paid. They could also let us know how much stimulus money Sharpton will have direct control over.

Strange, I never heard that adage before. But it's good advice in general, especially in the old days when newspapers were kings of the media.

However, Sharpie, as the infamous racial huckster that he is, knows he has sympathizers in high places in other, farther left, NY media outlets that don't particularly like Rupert Murdoch. He strung them all along with the Tawana Brawley hoax for years, and they were eating out of his hand. He even managed to get pretty favorable coverage out of his role in the Crown Heights riots. More recently, CBS knuckled under to his pressure and fired Don Imus.

So let's see how this tiff with the Murdoch organization plays out.
