Welcome to the crazy world of Politico: The grumblers were picking up on a strategy that has been under way for some time — a “course correction,” as Fox chief Roger Ailes put it last fall — with the network distancing itself from the tea party cheerleading that characterized the first two years of President […]
Fox really knows their viewers and their lack of education, especially when it comes to the U.S. Constitution: For the second day in a row, Fox’s “straight news” division has hyped the claim that U.S Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan should recuse herself from the case involving the constitutionality of a provision of the Affordable […]
A video posted by the hacking Anonymous stating that on November 5th they will attack Fox news servers and bring them down. The reason for the attack is over Fox’s coverage of Occupy Wall Street (or should I say their propaganda against it). Here’s the video posted on YouTube by Anonymous: The group doesn’t seem […]
How hard? This hard: EXCLUSIVE: ACORN Playing Behind Scenes Role in ‘Occupy’ Movement The former New York office for ACORN, the disbanded community activist group, is playing a key role in the self-proclaimed “leaderless” Occupy Wall Street movement, organizing “guerrilla” protest events and hiring door-to-door canvassers to collect money under the banner of various causes […]
If you watch Fox news or read the right wing blogs, that’s exactly what you would think. Yesterday Fox ran this clip of Hoffa warming up the crowd for President Obama: The “let’s take these son of a bitches out” is the big part the right is focusing on. You can see that by just […]
Irene hit New York as a category 1 hurricane, which is much less than the category 3 originally predicted. Since that happened the right has launched a major attack on the Obama administration, accusing them of “over-hyping” the hurricane for political purposes. This started with a bunch of links on Drudge over the weekend that […]
An article currently appearing on Fox 19 in Cincinnati asks if the media is fairly covering the Ruppert Murdoch hacking scandal. After giving a vague background on the story, they go to their analysis: In the great scheme of things,”News of the World” is pretty immaterial to News Corp.’s earnings, in the one percent range. […]
For anyone out there thinking News Corp is innocent, we just need to look back to 2009: News Corporation admitted at a trial in 2009 that computers at its U.S. marketing division, News America Marketing, hacked into the secure website of a rival U.S.-based company 11 times, according to Bloomberg. The FBI is currently investigating […]
It’s looking like Fox could be involved in some phone hacking also: According to former Fox News executive Dan Cooper, whose gripes with his former employer run quite deep after being fired in 1996, Fox News chief Roger Ailes allegedly had him design the so-called “Brain Room” to facilitate counter-intelligence efforts and other “black ops.” […]
I think that is the $1 million dollar question right now: Rupert Murdoch donated $1m to a pro-business lobby in the US months before the group launched a high-profile campaign to alter the anti-bribery law – the same law that could potentially be brought to bear against News Corporation over the phone-hacking scandal. News Corporation […]
