Media Roger Ailes says Fox News on 'course correction'

Posted by Max Brantley on Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 1:51 PM

Huffington Post has an item on a Roger Ailes interview with Newsweek in which he claims Fox News, which he leads, is on a "course correction." (Which more or less confirms the obvious — Fox is a right-wing faux news organization.)

He also says Bill O'Reilly hates Sean Hannity. And other candid stuff meant to lull you into complacency. Fox is in a bit of pickle now thanks to the illegal activities of elements of its parent organization, the Murdoch empire. It could stand to soften opinions a bit.

'A Loss of Roses' a stunner

Before last Friday night, the saddest, most "depressing" Depression-era story I had read was Horace McCoy's "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" However, after watching The Arkansas Repertory Theatre's opening performance of William Inge's "A Loss of Roses," I can attest that this play is as rough and unflinching as that Depression-era tale, or any other.

Loy Mauch update: The Republican rep is on record on slavery, too

Perhaps U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin might want to reconsider his earlier decision not to include Republican Rep. Loy Mauch on the list of Republican candidates he'd asked not to use his campaign contributions, having read some of what they'd written.
