Does Murdoch Agree With Glenn Beck or Not?
We can't let Murdoch have it both ways -- he can stand by the fact that he supports Glenn Beck's race-baiting; or he can tell us why he doesn't and what he's going to do about it.

If anyone has ever dreamed of being an office holder, 2010 is the year to do it. There are going to be several situations where voters elect a complete unknown, just to express their anger about the incumbent.

For generations, there has been a sort of a gentleman's agreement about what constituted professional behavior among journalists. Fox News has walked away from all of that.

To the base, the White House looks tough, willing to hit back--all while the base is getting few of the substantive reforms it has fought for. I am no...

The real head-scratcher for serious media-watchers right now is what the "war" between the White House and Fox News was meant to distract us from this week. The "war" itself is laughable, for a number of reasons.

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.

You are not doing your children any favors by not allowing them to grow up. I'm OK with parents helping children through college (in four years, not forty), but after that they are on their own.

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.

The press needs to drop its longstanding gentleman's agreement not to write about other news outlets as news players -- not to criticize the competition -- because those rules no longer apply.

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.

Roger Ailes understands what other TV executives miss. He remembers that P.T. Barnum built his business around high-wire acts and circus freaks.

Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace's whining and childish name-calling revealed more about the bitter and bruised host than it did the White House.

If you serve a right-wing Republican president you can write or say anything you want. But if you serve a liberal Democratic president, like the "pinks" who fell to McCarthyism, you can be taken down.

There are plenty of media dopes for Obama to deal with, to say nothing of their audiences. All these media outlets feature loudmouths with big megaphones, and a lack of decency or any allegiance to facts.

News Corp. not only is not going to fire Glenn Beck for his remarks, his bosses, Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes, head of Fox News, are probably going to give him a raise for generating so much publicity.
