Is Rupert Murdoch making a left turn after 50 years of being a staunch conservative? Hardly. The wily Murdoch is the ultimate pragmatist.

Once, Fox thought it had the market cornered on over-the-top populist outrage. No more. Hence the logic to the idea that Olbermann must be destroyed.

There's no reason why Bill O'Reilly should be surprised when reasonable, rational, thinking Americans want him to be summarily fired for using the word "lynching" in the context of a rant about Michelle Obama.

To ensure that FOX News is fair and balanced, Roger Ailes recently hired Karl Rove - the ultimate fair and balanced person, right up there with Dick Cheney - as a news analyst and commentator.

Today Hillary agreed to enrich Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes by going on their air and debating for the democratic nomination. Please, Barack, don't join her in the mud. It's a trick.

Fox is not a news outlet, it's an openly partisan opinion factory and the Democrats should not be legitimizing them, as Hillary Clinton's campaign did today.

It was a volatile week. John McCain exploded with laughter when a woman in Iowa referred to Hillary as a bitch (Amazingly, instead of apologizing, McCain tried to raise money off the incident). Tom Tancredo took fear-mongering to a new low with ominous campaign ads featuring exploding backpacks in America's malls. And Judith Regan stunned the political/media world with her $100 million lawsuit alleging she was asked by an unnamed senior NewsCorp exec to lie to federal investigators about one-time lover and Giuliani ticking time bomb Bernie "Bada-Bing" Kerik. The smart money is on that unnamed exec turning out to be Roger Ailes, who now solidifies his rep as the Dark Lord Voldermort of NewsCorp: He Who Must Not be Named. Even by Regan, clearly no pushover in the pushback department.

News outlets are focusing on Regan's passionate love affair with the swashbuckling Kerik, instead of on the more important news of Regan's law suit and Kerik's 14-count indictment.

The business arena is a lot messier and more complex than the political arena which Fox News was able to polarize with simplistic pro-war slogans, personality baiting and and us versus them patriotically-correct deception.
