Hoyt Hilsman | Posted 04.04.2013 | Media
Hoyt Hilsman

When political parties embrace demagoguery and half-truth (and let's be honest, that's what Fox is doing), they do so at their own peril. Once you've sacrificed truth in the name of ideology, you've opened Pandora's box. The GOP opened that box, and what flew out was the tea party.

I don't agree with many of Roger Ailes's beliefs (although I no longer support Obama) but I think it's wrong to judge people solely on their opinions without knowing anything else about them.

Though his quote is likely to get a lot of outraged attention, I actually find it very positive and enouraging. After all, the good news is that Mr. Ailes didn't call the president shiftless, and say too that he has good rhythm, shuffles and likes watermelon.

Leave it to Fox News, the network that cranked the amp on John McCain's once-naïve ingenue to 11 and made her a political force well past her expiration date, to be the one to drop the hammer on Sarah Palin's career once and for all.

Eric Boehlert | Posted 03.01.2013 | Media
Eric Boehlert

The grand experiment of marrying a political movement around a cable TV channel was a grand failure in 2012. But there's little indication that enough Republicans will have the courage, or even the desire, to break free from Fox's firm grip on the party.
