msj Posted February 27, 2011 Report Posted February 27, 2011 Fox News Chief Roger Ailes is likely to be indicted for his role in encouraging an employee to lie to federal investigators during the vetting of Bernard Kerik for the job of homeland security secretary. I wonder if he was the head of MSNBC or ABC or CBS or CNN if he would still be employed? Well, it's not like the media have an impeachment process despite this case having tape evidence (as opposed to a blue dress with some stains on it). Links: You read it here first. NY Times article. Deep background. Quote If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.

msj Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Posted February 27, 2011 Oh, I don't want to start another thread about it, but apparently, Judith Regan was having this affair with Kerik (gasp, a married man! ) and they were doing their business in an apartment near ground zero which was donated for use by rescue and recovery workers. Good thing Regan/Kerik aren't muslims otherwise American Woman would be all over that one! [AW, I jest, I jest - honestly, just a joke. No need to bring up the thread "that shall not be named"....] Quote If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission.

Mr.Canada Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 For people who claim to hate Fox News they spend an awful lot of time watching and reading it. Here's an idea, if you don't like it change the channel, just don't watch it, don't read it. Watching it or reading it only supports them, you don't understand this I'm guessing.

Well, I have never watched Fox News. But when their leader is caught up in such an event with lots of overtones of hypocrisy, then, yes, I'm interested. As should anyone who cares for a major news source to be "fair and balanced" beyond mere cliche.
