Let Us Not Forget The AILES/MURDOCH Connection

[kpete]

Has Roger Ailes Hacked American Phones for Fox News?

I made the connections. Ailes knew I had given Brock the interview. Certainly Brock didn’t tell him. Of course. Fox News had gotten Brock’s telephone records from the phone company, and my phone number was on the list. Deep in the bowels of 1211 Avenue of the Americas, News Corporation’s New York headquarters, was what Roger called the Brain Room. Most people thought it was simply the research department of Fox News. But unlike virtually everybody else, because I had to design and build the Brain Room, I knew it also housed a counterintelligence and black ops office. So accessing phone records was easy pie.”

“Ailes created an in-house research unit–-known at Fox News as the ‘brain room’–-that requires special security clearance to gain access. ‘The brain room is where Willie Horton comes from,’ says Cooper, who helped design its specs. `It’s where the evil resides.’ ”

1. The Thin Lines Of The Unitary Executive...

We know from the Plame case that the boooosh White House used the corporate media to spread lies and attack their enemies. There were also scandals of creating video press releases that local stations used as "news stories" that were propaganda as well as the use of Faux noise to spread party talking points. Ya wanna bet that certain stories and information gathered through internal survelliance was passed along to their friends? This could be interesting...

6. Nothing to see here

Remember, these are the same people who will mouth the 97% of Planned Parenthood's "business" is abortion (which is not true, and when Sen. Kyl said that, he knew it). Based on that specious fact, any health care dollar that is used for services at Planned Parenthood becomes tax money spent directly on abortion.

But when it comes to evil fucks like Murdoch and his minions, they can't quite find a connection between the bankroller and the paychecks his employees cash. "Oh, that's an isolated incident; you can't expect the owner to know everything that's going on in his sprawling empire. That's an isolated incident, too. And that one. Yep, that other one's isolated. There is no pattern here. Quit looking at that!"

7. No kidding and ailes is the Defacto Repub Leader!

I believe this Definitely Does affect our Congress and totally connects to it and the SCOTUS, Kochs, Rove etc!

...And all of a sudden there are "crickets" around the Justice Thomas scandal!
Weiner was getting too close--he needed to go, now they are after Bernie for 2012---
The Question is: Will the FBI, the FCC, Congress and AG Holder etc "Do the Right thing" or expose themselves as part of the problem???
