Roger Stone had one trailing Elliot Spitzer. They cannot take their own medicine.

2. The Right tends to project onto others what they do

on a daily basis. They fabricate things to make the other side look bad. I wonder if this is pre-emptive. That maybe they fear what is happening to Murdoch's media empire in Great Britain will happen here at Fox. So they are pre-emptively striking against one their greatest critics so later on they can say the left does "it" too.

No one believes their BS except those with the lowest analytical intelligence.

It's the RW that thinks "money is speech" and wants unlimited money in politics, why is it a crime for Soros to fund anything political?

10. Smear campaign in advance of next week's release of a Media Matters book exposing Fox
Tue Feb 14, 2012, 05:43 PM
Feb 2012

This is a smear campaign designed to divert attention (and undermine the credibility of the messenger) from the revelations contained in Media Matters’ SOON to be released (2/21/12) book-- The Fox Effect: How Roger Ailes Turned a Network into a Propaganda Machine.

http://action.mediamatters.org/fox_effect


“This is not your standard media criticism book -- it’s the definitive answer to every cousin, brother-in-law or neighbor who ever told you that Fox was their go-to place for news. From tracing the career of Fox News founder Roger Ailes as he learned to manipulate racial politics while working on the presidential campaigns of Richard Nixon and George H.W. Bush, to visiting a cruise ship in the middle of the Mediterranean where a senior Fox News executive admitted to telling Fox News viewers that Barack Obama was a socialist even though he did not believe the charge to be true, The Fox Effect dismantles once and for all the notion that there’s any genuine meaning behind the network’s “fair & balanced” slogan…

Using leaked internal emails and Roger Ailes’ own writings, including a never-before-seen private letter, there has never been a more compelling summation of Fox’s dangerous and destructive role in our democracy. The Fox Effect offers new insights into Fox News and powerfully describes the harmful consequences of this political operation masquerading as a news network. You won’t be able to put it down.”
