Fox News finally made it official. They are part and parcel of the Republican Party. They are now the largest donors to the Republican Governors Association, having given them $1 million dollars. They also employ three out of the top four Republicans in the Iowa Caucus Poll for GOP presidential candidates.

When Andrew Breitbart and the Fox Empire of Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes launched their smear and destroy campaign against Shirley Sherrod, she did something none of the politicians, none of the aides, none of the chattering class in the enabling millionaire sheep media of The Village had the dignity, the honor, the courage to do.

Osama has free time now to devote himself to the environment.

Who Ailed Roger Ailes?

Riff off Ailes NY Times profile from 1/10/10

Rupert Murdoch is now trying to backpedal after saying in an interview with Sky News that Glenn Beck was right when he called President Obama a “racist.” Now that he’s been called out and the spotlight is squarely on him, Murdoch says he doesn’t agree with Beck, but he won’t explain what he meant or denounce Beck’s rhetoric either.

We can’t let Murdoch have it both ways — he can stand by the fact that he supports Glenn Beck’s race-baiting; or he can tell us why he doesn’t and what he’s going to do about it.

We’re launching a petition demanding that Murdoch put an end to Fox’s race-baiting, or admit he agrees with it.
