Because?

You guys believe Fox is unbiased reporting

Ed Rollins, the veteran GOP consultant, told me. “He knew there were a couple million conservatives who were a potential audience, and he built Fox to reach them.”

it's a pretty scattershot article. i feel like there's a better story somewhere in there if given to a decent journalist.

but i did find the interactions between ailes and the murdoch family illuminating. i had no idea that sort of conflict existed at news corp.

i doubt lord007 has any idea what i'm talking about since he didn't read the article.

For the records i do not watch fox news and could give 2 craps about Beck....And for the Media there is a strong bias on both sides obviously...when Barry visited Boston a couple weeks ago a certain paper was left out of the media pool for obvious reason's...do explain

But politics aside, why wouldn't you find an in-depth article on the history of Fox News interesting? I think the behind the scenes stuff is fascinating

I had a feeling that's where you were going. Look...she is no more annoying that many/most of the righties here...it just depends on your perspective I think. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For what it's worth..and I know you said you give two sh.its about Beck, but I think it's pretty ironic when the Right complains about ANY over the top poster who dares to challenge them. There is so much Kool Aid drinking done by Conservatives that a vocal opposition just automatically becomes an auto-toss..like..How DARE you disagree with me..

Just sayin'..

did you know ruprert murdoch owned the magazine for about 10 years in the 80's?

i know it has "new york" in the title but that really isn't synonymous with "liberal" in all cases. think william f. buckley for example.

and if you really want anyone to believe you actually read an article, try posting something more than two words as a review followed by insightful criticism specifying that the source is the real problem.

i never intended it to work this way but the username has turned out to be an infallible newbie filter. they always bring it up.

not that being a newbie makes your opinion any less valued. it's actually the lack of content behind the opinion that accomplishes that.

I wish William F. Buckley was still around. WFB Junior has become marginalized by his appallment at the current conservative movement.

Edit: I miss Firing Line. And Buckley's fight with Gore Vidal was classic.
Went looking, found this article by Christopher:
