“pro-life” Fred Barnes might as well be his spokeswoman.
You’re misinformed. This is a another hit piece by the Slimes on Murdoch/Ailes/FOX. The NYSlimes is agressively intent on trying to destroy them now that Murdoch has purchased the Wall Street Journal.
It is the Slimes. Take it for what it is worth.
I have seen it with my own eyes. Hannity and some of the others are promoting Rudy. Finding out that Rudy is good friends with Ailes has given me the reason for it.
I realize the NYT is in the pocket of Hillary. That doesn’t mean they aren’t right every once in a while.
Hannity is the worst. For all I know he is doing it only as a way of sucking up to the boss.
I have been leery of FOX ever since they ran Matt Drudge off for being too vocal on the pro-life issue. This is just the last in a long line of confirmations. O’Reilly went on vacation just as the previous amnesty fight came up, this time he said “it is not great but it is the best we can do so we should support it” and went on vacation AGAIN. By the time he got back there were gale force winds against it and he came to the party weak and late. Now of course, he is slandering FR.
Hannity is not conservative either. He is establishment Republican. If a pro-abort gun-grabber is one of the establishment picks then he will back him too.
FOX news DISTRACTS conservative viewers by broadcasting hours of irrelevant pop-culture tripe about that poor Lindsey Nicole Spears girl from Paris when they should be informing us about all attempts of government to take our freedom. It is bread-and-circuses. Ruppert Murdoch is not our buddy. He is Red China’s buddy.
I’m a fan of Rudy’s, but a Fred supporter. This is the Times trying to get to Murdoch through Ailes and Rudy. Giuliani has been the frontrunner for some time and lives in New York, so it doesn’t surprise me that he’s gotten a lot of face time on Fox.
This is a big nothing.

Yep. The roundtable used to be the best analysis segment on television, not anymore.
nyt is not to be trusted on anything they say... including this crap.

“I have seen it with my own eyes. Hannity and some of the others are promoting Rudy. Finding out that Rudy is good friends with Ailes has given me the reason for it.”
Dittos.
I actually feel better about it. If Hannity and Ailes are promoting and helping a friend, it makes more sense than shilling for a liberal Republican and being clueless about who he is.
Now that we know this, we can consider Fox in Rudy’s corner just like CNN is the Clinton News Network and New York Slimes is the liberal intelligensia mouthpiece.
“I realize the NYT is in the pocket of Hillary. That doesn’t mean they aren’t right every once in a while.”
That’s the thing. They will point out this connection, but never point out liberal connections - how, for example the spouse of a Kerry campaign manager was writing biting AP stories about Bush - or others areas of incestuous liberal-media-Democrat complex. Liberals are hypocrites.
I watched Fred enough to know he’s perfectly fine with Rudy.

Fox News is a step above the MSNBC sewer and the mindless liberal blather at CNN, *but* if you are tuning in to get *informed*, you are in big trouble.

Fox News? Aren’t they owned by the same people who own WSJ? Wow... it is the most legitimate news station on TV since it is part of such a major institution once owned by the Bancrofts....
Me and the rest of the freepers who see this are just imagining things.

I agree with you, but as a service member station overseas my wife and I are subject to being forced in to watching the rest of the idiot networks. I still watch Fox when I can, but due to the AFN programming we are usually stuck with MSNBC, CNN or even that joke they call ABC. Fox has been getting worse and worse, but trust me, try watching Chris(commie) Mathews.
Fox is hopelessly sensationalistic. I watched the station nearly exclusively from 2000-2003 or so before tapering off. Now it is unwatchable. They fire off the breaking news gong for news items trivial enough to be carried on page 10 of the lifestyles section of any self respecting newspaper.
