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.

Another made-up Republican attack: The Saline County socialists are coming to take your business

This is, of course, nonsense.
