Pedro Picasso, the third-ranked cartoon boy on a staff of three, is trusted to do very little at the junk mail mill, so daytime TV is a huge part of his life. He spends his days surfing the DUmp, checking out other moonbat sites, and watching TV streaming on his computer. He has to do this surreptitiously, so as to conceal his copious free time from the junk mail moguls who run Mission Control.

In case you didn't know..."Inside the Fox Fear Factory"
This is an excellent article from the June 9th issue of Rolling Stone. With yet another CNN anchor going to Fox, it just makes it clear what their agenda was all along. As the article points out, you DON'T step out of line at Fox. Tow[sic] the line, recite the daily talking points handed down by Roger Ailes, or you're gone. Period. I with I could get my Republican Fox-watching friends to read it, but they'd probably dismiss it out-of-hand because it's in Rolling Stone. But if you've got the time, it's an incredible article. Everything you thought Fox was -- and worse. Remember, research shows that Fox new watchers are among the least informed people in America.

TOW the line! At Fox you must TOW the line! Wow. If anyone ever wondered why he's only allowed to draw blank speech bubbles, for the number two cartoon boy to fill in with lettering, this should help them understand. Pedro believes the saying is "tow the line". That would be okay for someone who speaks English as a second language, but for a native speaker it's inexcusable ignorance.
If Pedro is ever allowed to letter in the speech bubbles in Mission Control junk mail cartoons, he'll likely make glaring mistakes like this, enraging clients, and embarrassing Mission Control.

1. this is a must read
Ailes is paranoid to the point of needing help. Unfortunately he is leading the listeners to join him in his fantasies.
Now he is mad with power.

2. I never realized the entire Fox "storefront" is a fake.
Ailes is such a paranoid lunatic that he had the entire news department put in a windowless bunker in the basement, and his own office was retrofitted to be essentially a bomb shelter, complete with explosion-proof windows. He thinks Al Qaida is personally after him.
Well, he's certainly more an enemy of Al Qaida than any of the muzzie-loving leftist news outlets.

3. From the article
'With its bare-bones newsÂgathering operation – Fox News has one-third the staff'
That is one reason it is hard to find real news on Faux
PMS uses local NBC news staff, when they aren't airing moonbats or prison shows. CNN uses local ABC news staff. Fox uses local Fox staff. In nearly every story that comes up, Fox has more up-to-the-minute, throrough coverage.
