"Its reporters hacked voice mails and bribed public officials while top executives - including (News Corp. CEO) Rupert Murdoch - either approved the conduct or turned a blind eye."News Corp. and Murdoch have apologized about the ethics scandal, which led to the closing of its tabloid News of the World and the departure of several senior executives. The company has been investigated by lawmakers there and blasted for the lack of ethics at some of its newspapers. Murdoch's son, James Murdoch, has been singled out for criticism because he had oversight of the British newspapers for several years.Read more here: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2012/08/22/163105/foxs-us-tv-station-licenses-challenged.html#storylink=omni_popular#storylink=cpy
But if was to get the ear of Roger Ailes I would recommend losing Shepard Smith and Bill Hemmer.I don't dislike Hemmer, he just has terrible speaking cadence while interviewing. It's like...Hemmer: blah blah blah *pause*Interviewee: Well BillHemmer: blah blah blahInterviewee: *silence*Hemmer: *silence*
I like Bill Hemmer. I can't stand Sherpard Smith. Something that shocked me, Jesse Jackson's daughter is kind of growing on me. While I don't agree with her views she is very respectful and not a raging moonbat. Unlike Sally Kohn, she can't even sit there and wait her turn with out making stupid ass facial movements.

The great journalistic mystery of our time...how does Candy Crowley get to have a on screen career that lasted more than a round of boxing ?
A public policy watchdog group
I agree. I loathe her so much that I would introduce her to my ex-husband, were she straight.
Hey, do it anyway. By the time he figures out that he doesn't have the proper equipment, her being a lesbian moonbat and all, maybe he'll be in prison for sexual asault. You know how liberal women are, if you even look at them wrong, it's rape.
And if a liberal womyn looks at you . . .

This is talking about Fox, as in the network that shows "The Simpsons".

Even if the Democrats owned Congress there isn't enough clout. Think of the failed attempt to impeach Clinton as an example. It was more about fanfare than realistic expected results. So is this. The bright side is that it is meaningful fanfare. A favorable "dog and pony show".

Not astoundingly, the commies at DU fail to mention Fox Business. If they think Fox News hates the mulatto messiah, Fox Business really, really hates him.
