He's a habitual Trump retweeter, ass kisser, and conspiracy theorist.

He's also now angry:

"Fox News claimed the top spot in every key ratings measure for cable news in the month of May while CNN and MSNBC saw big surges in those measures compared to the same month last year.
Looking at the primetime numbers for the month, Fox News was number one with an average of 2.24 million viewers, as well as taking first place in the key adults 25-54 demographic with 453,000 viewers."

To the right, for many many years, Fox News is not seen as part of the mainstream media. That's only for "left leaning" outlets (aka the Drive Bys, as Rush Limbaugh consistently calls them).

LOL, that's awesome.

I fully expect them to issue some sort of Kriminal Sopina within the next couple hours.

My favorite part is that he stole a headshot of Christoph Waltz, the actor who played the Nazi "Jew Hunter" in INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS.

Fox isn't part of the mainstream because the GOP and its allies have perfected the art of claiming to be the underdog and victim regardless of how much power you actually have.

That Medium article is now gone too. Another favorite moment from today is that Gateway Pundit has removed the story due to concerns over the report. If Gateway Pundit is removing a story due to veracity concerns you have truly jumped the shark.

Odd word choice to describe a witness. ‘Attractive’ would be more common in the parlance of the day, no? :p

With Trump in charge, I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.

Ailes kept on chugging at the intersection of the Republican Party and television, working on the 1984 Reagan presidential campaign and the George H.W. Bush presidential campaign in 1988. He briefly was president of CNBC and created “America’s Talking,” a cable network that eventually became MSNBC. Finally it all came together — Ailes’s vision, the timing, the technology, and the money — when the media billionaire Rupert Murdoch put up the money to start Fox News in the middle of the Clinton administration. Before long, Fox was sucking up the effluvia of the GOP’s most feverish swamps and sluicing it directly into America’s homes.

All the while, Ailes was constantly coordinating Fox’s messaging with the top members of the GOP. According to Gabriel Sherman, author of an Ailes biography, during the Obama administration “the right-wing media and the Republican Party started to fuse into this single entity.” In 2016, Fox helped make Trump, Ailes’s longtime friend, president of the United States. Sherman says “there’s almost no daylight now between the agenda of the White House and the agenda of Fox News. … Trump is the logical conclusion of entertainment and right-wing media taking over the Republican Party.” President George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum has concluded that “Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us, and now we are discovering we work for Fox.”
