Exec Wanted Me To Lie To Protect Giuliani

Judith Regan, the former book publisher, says in a lawsuit filed yesterday protesting her dismissal by the News Corporation, the media conglomerate, that a senior executive there encouraged her to lie to federal investigators about her past affair with Bernard B. Kerik after he had been nominated to become homeland security secretary in late 2004.

The lawsuit asserts that the News Corporation executive wanted to protect the presidential aspirations of Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Kerik's mentor, who had appointed him New York City police commissioner and had recommended him for the federal post.

Uh this gives new meaning to the phrase -the press are in bed with the people they cover.

Of course, not every knows that the ex-Fed chairman Allen Greenspan is married to start NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell....

Oh wait, then there was Maria Bartolovo's "indiscretion" . From wikipedia:
In 2007, controversy arose over the nature of Bartiromo's relationship with Todd Thomson, former chief of Citigroup's wealth management unit. Thomson at one point flew with a group of employees to China, then left the employees to make their own arrangements for the trip back while he took the corporate jet back to the U.S. with Bartiromo. In another instance, Thomson spent $5 million for programming on the Sundance Channel that Bartiromo was tapped to host. Thomson was eventually ousted by Citigroup for reasons including his contact with Bartiromo.CNBC has stood by Bartiromo, claiming that her relationship with Thomson was a case of "legitimate business assignments".

Hope after all this is settled- Judith converts to being a Democrat- and "hangin out" with the good crowd.

FoxNews asked someone to lie??? How absolutely shocking.

How can Judith Regan expect to sue for this, when she must of known all along that lying (i.e propoganda) is part of the job requirement for being on fox.

whats that sound i hear...clompety...clompety....clompety.could it be the hoofbeats of the cloaked...masked...black clad heralds of long denied jusice...swiftly approaching ...mssrs., don giuliani and capo kerik... "made guys" and erstwhile heads of the greater new york crime family? is this about the promiscuity of a notorious slut and her dangerous laisons or is it about a treasonous criminal cabal and its connection to a right winged criminal military industrial complex controlled news media..that for power and money has betrayed this country? will this tumbling down house of cards reveal those who were behind the placement of tons of high explosives in the twin towers? perhaps it is something simpler. perhaps it is a higher beings response to the innocent blood of amadou diallo and the blood curdling screams from the sweet innocent lips of countless thousands of iraqi toddlers...their little sweet bodies riddled with shrapnel and limbs ripped off my bullets.

It is hard to believe that Rudy needs to be taught about this fact.

Ready Rudy: " Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned...."

The Fairness Doctrine was created after WW2 because America had seen what fascism could do if given the chance. Reagan refused to reauthorize it and since then we have had hate radio and propaganda TV on 24/7!

That faux has seen fit to order it's employees to lie on a daily basis and to cover up the fascists failings is proof that we need to bring back truth in MSM. If we allow this Bushit to continue, America will be lost and so will the worlds grandest experiment in Democracy!

An affair with Kerik, money laundering through a shameful book deal with O.J. and the exploitation of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette's death by publishing a tell-all book by Bessette's ex-boyfriend/Calvin Klein underwear model Michael Bergin "The Other Man."
The book bombed. It is now down to $2.85 a copy.

I once sat right next to Regan at a dinner where she was bragging about the future fortune this book was going to bring her company. It was appalling. I told her I didn't agree with her exploitation of their deaths and she started laughing really, really loud. With this maniacal laugh to set me off and put me back in my place because she didn't like what I said. Then she proceeded to invite everyone at the table back in her limo for a drive back home since it rained so hard that night. Guess who was left out on the sidewalk in the rain?

She is ruthless.
