2. He underestimates the ability of Fox News watchers to justify what they want to believe.
There's nothing bad enough that Fox News could do to turn them off.

3. Powerful friends?
If they backpedal as hard as the UK Conservative Party, Murdoch will have a hard time finding a foursome for bridge among his cellmates.

9. Yes, very interesting. Afshin Rattansi commented that "Democrats
The Democratic Party is a forlorn party: They have little hope left now that President Obama has destroyed his reputation (with)... war mongering, his sort of Reaganomic economic policies..."

He added that it was interesting that is is a phone hacking scandal rather than regulation that is finally shaking Murdoch's media empire.

11. yes, thanks for getting that quote!
Quite ironic if the right goes down because of this and not so much anything Obama has done. Obama does seem lucky in these ways.

5. Not likely. Fox will just tell their viewers that Jesus said
it was the right thing to do.

I see no fall-out from this scandal.
Too complicated for the typical Fox viewer.

10. The brainwashed and addicted FOX watchers will give up their fix when you ...
pry the remote from their cold dead hands.
