"The Memo"

The FOX News Channel has gotten themselves into a little bit of a pickle. In a recent book about Bush (w) it was revealed that Roger Ailes, the head of Fox News Channel wrote Bush a memo a few days after 9/11. The memo offered some advice on what to do and how the American public would think about certain actions. Maybe he should have known better. This story has gotten liberals shaking their fists like Micheal Jackson shaking his infant child over a balcony for no reason.

Big deal everyone knows FOX NEWS is slanted for Conservatives. Just like CNN was Clintons Outlet. The people at FOX heard the outcry for an alternate take and made lots of money on it. The only difference is during Clinton's peak years people had no other options. But was it really that big a deal? From what I understand it was right after 9/11 when everyone was emotional.

Ironically and not surprisingly it was published in the New York Times. The most extremist paper ever. Talk about being one-sided. Although they don't say they are fair and balanced they like to pretend they are. They always play politics. Don’t get me wrong I think papers should bring stuff like this to the public eye for them to judge. Pretty much everyone that writes for the times are about as far left as Drew. If not farther. Such extreme radicals. Some times down right scary how socialist they come across.

Anyway Newspapers like cable news networks always have their voice. IF you don’t believe me pick up a courier-post, Phila Inquirer and a Daily News (some what fair-and balanced) in your travels today. The Inquirer will always back democrats. I’m sure they would have endorsed the TORCH. But I still like the paper. No one cares when Peter Jennings puts his two cents in constantly One the nightly news.

Did Ted Turner ever give Clinton money? Would not be surprised. Come on if Ted Turner’s CNN didn’t smother conservatives voices for many years Fox News never would have been born. Of course liberals are thinking that maybe it is fishy cause the white house might seek favors like putting people on programs. What about ABC having a former Clinton worker with no journalistic background having his own show? Could the New York Times have waited this in order to try to help CNN in the sweeps ratings? It’s a long shot, but who knows. The bottom line is he is a Roger Alies is an American Citizen and can do what ever the hell he wants.


p.s.
I hope the pickle metaphor did not offend any pickle haters
