http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/02/15/426079/ablow-david-brock-adoption/
Fox News infamous psychiatrist Keith Ablow has today joined the networks personal attacks on Media Matters David Brock, suggesting Brock is dangerous because he is an adopted boy:
ABLOW: Hes a dangerous man, because having followers and waging war this isnt accidental language. Its about violence, destruction, and he feels destroyed in himself. [...] This is an adopted boy who needs to plumb the depths of his psyche. He was adopted. Many adopted children are tremendously well-adjusted, but for some reason, this man feels hes unloved and unloveable, shunted to the side, and thats the antidote he feels: unlimited power. Guess what? It never ever works.

show exactly what Fox News is all about which is to lie to the Fox News viewers.
Now how did David Brock's adoption make Fox News post this happy horse shit?

(28,349 posts)legitimate psych assessment. His views on how Chaz Bono dancing in a TV dance contest would hurt American children was nothing but hateful bigotry.
This is the same - he is part of a right wing conspiracy to discredit David Brock and Media Matters. It's about taking his credibility as a psychiatrist to make Media Matters so toxic that other news sources will be afraid to use them - which ends up giving right-wing hack politicians & pundits a freebie on their lies and their overall nastiness.
Goal: A full blown attack against an honest and very creditable source & turning them so toxic that they are now impotent.
It will only work if we, the people, let them - Fox, Ablow & Right-Wing hacks, and other major news sources get away with it. It will work if his professional field lets him get away with it.

(970 posts)As an adopted kid who loves his parents, this is totally offensive to me (and it takes a lot to offend me!). Just another POS pub.
I wonder if there's a single joke left to be made with Keith's last name.

I believe Media Matters was rumored to be doing some investigative journalism concerning some FOX personalities.
Who knows, but this is pure acting on Ablow's part. And he doesn't even care if the performance is convincing.
