Foxnews.com criticizing Murdoch
I knew you wouldn't fall for that ridiculous statement. But doesn't it prove once and for all that Fux is not news - not fair, definitely without balance, because this is the biggest story going right now; it's international, and really juicy. All the elements that make for a perfect news story: Spying, arrests, bribes, intimidations, rigged elections, crooked cops, subpoenas, god, it's the ideal news story about a corrupt news organization.

If Fox goes down, the right wing hate/lie corporate machine will suffer a giant hit. Yipee!

1. No giant hit. The koch brothers will buy their empire
and the people who are loyal to fox news will blame President Obama for unfairly destroying their former leader.

2. The best thing that could happen to FOX is that its share price plunges to

pennies on the dollar. Then Al Gore swoops in to buy it, and Keith Olberman becomes the face of FOX.

Just leave the waving flags and keep the sets. Confuse the fuck out of the red staters until their heads explode.

5. The other day Randi Rhodes was playing some sound clips
from the Fox TV anchors - "They are making such a big deal out of this!" "This happened TEN YEARS ago -- in LONDON!!!!!" "It's time to move on and stop making such a big to-do about nothing." It could have been a comedy bit it was so ludicrous. They're probably worried about their jobs. I hope so.
