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.

Donald Trump declares war on Hillary Clinton's marriage
Donald Trump gave a remarkable interview to the New York Times yesterday in which he declared open season on the marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton's past infidelity. Seems like a loser, but I've been wrong before.

The yawning teacher pay gap between Arkansas school districts
Before Arkansas congratulates itself for outpacing Oklahoma on teacher pay, we should take a look at the huge disparity in salaries within the state. New teachers in Bentonville may make almost $46,000 a year, but new teachers in many other districts will start the 2018-19 school year earning $31,800 — less than the starting salary in Tulsa.
