Fox News host Sean Hannity did something many will call shocking, some will call phony and insincere, and I'll call, at the very least, uncharacteristic. He admitted that Jon Stewart was right

Fox News Channel should be treated not like a news organization, but as one which does little more than promote a specific political agenda.

In an exclusive interview, Rupert Murdoch explains that Google is only the beginning of News Corp.'s plans to further isolate themselves. Take a look.

We've seen this pattern before. A non-sourced, anonymous story enters the right-wing blogosphere and gets picked up by mainstream media, allowing the right to stovepipe their insanity.

Fox News is all slant, all the time, while MSNBC is absolutely not a liberal mirror-image. The slant is not equal, nor do the two channels offset like penalties in a football game.

With a few notable exception, broadcast news is a very scary place these days. What Edward R. Murrow would think of the current zeitgeist is unknowable, but we might hazard a guess.

I'm calling it "Faux Noise" until it starts acting like a legitimate news organization. The White House is well within its rights to deny access because Roger Ailes is running a fear factory, not a news channel.

This is an administration put in office on a campaign pledge of practicality over ideology. In the Fox case, it is treading on ideological terrain. I don't think it's the job of Obama's top staff to use government time to go after Fox.

Some Democrats recognize that Obama's making a cardinal blunder in propping up Fox through the backdoor with his attacks. Fox, of course, giddily loves every swipe that he takes at it.

Does anyone really believe that ACORN is the top story? Every day? Or is it possible that is Fox's obvious, ham-handed way of attacking the president daily? I can't believe we're having this argument.

The White House has exposed Fox News for what it is: not a news organization, but a partisan political entity that is waging a war against the Obama administration and its progressive agenda.
The Huffington Post | Posted 10.22.2009 | Media
The White House's war with Fox News, which Jason Linkins has helpfully mapped out here and here, took a new, (and perhaps final?), turn Wednesday nigh...

If Fox News rises up to the challenge of confessing their real identity and real purpose, then -- and only then -- should Obama take on that conservative voice in an interview on their air.

For months now, Roger Ailes has been putting the finishing touches on his first monster, Fox News Channel, just as its bride, Fox Business Network, is showing signs of life.
Karl Frisch | Posted 10.06.2009 | Media
Perhaps it's the rallies or the fundraising or the demonstrably false attacks that have kept Obama from appearing on Fox. Regardless, the right's gravy train rolls on undeterred, facts be damned.
Timothy Karr | Posted 09.16.2009 | Media
The ultimate irony of Beck, Dobbs and Rush is that they couch in populist rhetoric a message that is anti-populist, designed to protect the swindle at the core of our media system's failure.

John Stossel is leaving ABC for Fox News Channel. For the uninitiated few, Stossel is a multi-Emmy-winning investigative reporter with an amusing Harry Reems moustache.

It's less a sign of genius to hire Imus than it is a sign that the towel has been thrown in on the Fox Business News channel.

Now that a black man holds the office, tinfoil-hat lunatics say children should not learn to respect presidents, nor should presidents encourage them to succeed. It's an incredible hypocrisy.

Unless Democrats develop a clear and compelling message, they face a very tough time in the 2010 elections.

I've just returned from Alaska, where I conducted interviews and archival research for a book on Palin, and many of those I spoke to in the Last Frontier, from across the political spectrum, noted that Palin was fixated on Obama.

Roger Ailes, chairman of the new combined network known as SciFox, said that it would roll out a slate of new shows in the fall, including Bill O'Reilly's "Galactica Factor."
Jim Lichtman | Posted 09.18.2009 | Media
Apparently, executives at Fox do not know the difference between opinion and hate speech.
Bob Cesca | Posted 09.12.2009 | Politics
The right-wing satellite of crazy has evolved from being a silly assembly of sore losers to a dangerous posse -- a rabble of misinformed cranks who have no problem targeting children.

We're supposed to have the best democracy in the world. As it stands, we're one burning tire away from Haiti. We have to dial this health care debate back down.
