Krauthammer: FOX Wars

WASHINGTON POST, 10/13/2009 by Charles Krauthammer (Hat tip: John H. Detweiler) - Fox wars: The 'post-partisan' president makes an enemies list. ∴ Rahm Emanuel once sent a dead fish to a live pollster. Now he's put a horse's head in Roger Ailes's bed. ∴ Not very subtle. And not very smart. Ailes doesn't scare easily. ∴ The White House has declared war on Fox News. White House communications director Anita Dunn said that Fox is "opinion journalism masquerading as news." Patting rival networks on the head for their authenticity (read: docility), senior adviser David Axelrod declared Fox "not really a news station." And Chief of Staff Emanuel told (warned?) the other networks not to "be led [by] and following Fox." Read more at the Washington Post...

John says, "May[be] Obama will do for Republicans what Nixon did for Democrats."
