Jeez, start a news channel that actually gives both sides of the news and the libs have a hissy fit. Better put some ice on that, Howell.

I believe this is termed "Projecting".

OH SO TYPICAL.... accusing the opposition of what they themselves are doing! Typical Liberal tactic.

Its chief fictioneer, Roger Ailes, had been making up news in plain sight for a half century. No mention of Dan Rather.

We wanted to read New York mags article today on Howell Raines, his new book, and his post-Times life. Really we did. But then we got to the full-page portrait that opens the feature and, man, we just couldnt get any further. Are we appalled? Are we intrigued? Is it the jowls? Is it the nose? Is it the dark, penetrating eyes? We have no idea. But we havent been able to look away.
Clearly, he hates all of us.

Fox, by its mere existence, undercuts the argument that the public is starved for fair news, and not just because Fox shills for the Republican Party and panders to the latest of Americas periodic religious manias. The key to understanding Fox News is to grasp the anomalous fact that its consumers know its news is made up. It matters not when critics point this out to Foxite consumers because theyve understood it from the outset. Thats why theyre there. Its chief fictioneer, Roger Ailes, had been making up news in plain sight for a half century.
I love it when liberals go psychotic. They end up projecting their inner most secrets without a clue they're doing it.

Has anybody read his autobiographical book on his life as a fisherman, I wonder? I forgot the title (no loss), but I started it some years ago, unaware that the guy was a lefty. I got to a part where Raines related how, as a young boy, he had been left home because he was too young when his older brother and dad had gone on a fishing trip. In a childish tantrum over being left behind, he had then broken his brother's prized fishing rod in half. Not too unusual, I suppose, but Raines then went on to say that even as he wrote, as a middle aged adult, he still wasn't sorry for having broken the rod. I think that defines the guy's character pretty well. Anyhow, I'd had enough whining and fake eloquence by then, so I gave up on the tiresome tome.
I will say that if well to do "liberals" take up fishing, the fly rod is snooty enough to appeal to them.

In the mind of Howell Raines competition is an unnecessary pain in the ass. Under his dreamed new age, Fox News won't be allowed to exist.

The Liberals have 95% of the print media & 95% of the Radio/TV media. What they don't want is any voice anywhere for Conservatives

All Fox does is give a chance for some articulate conservative spokespeople to comment and be heard. It just gives the conservative point of view along with the liberal point of view. To the far left, that is what makes Fox such shills for Republicans!
