As Romney surges in the Republican polls, the Rupert Murdoch manufactured foundations of the Republican base are making a last stand.

What’s a little slander, privacy invasion, abetting and maybe a little treason if not the cost of doing business?

Just as they get ready to cheer for a government shut down they will simultaneously blame Obama and the Democrats for (like the latter group won’t cave anyway), FoxNews is making sure they get all their current dislikes out there right away. Next up, FoxNews reports Lowe’s signs an endorsement deal with Tim Tebow.

I’m not sure how much I love it when this plan comes together. [A]ccording to [a] Fairleigh Dickinson University’s latest PublicMind poll…“there is something about watching Fox News that leads people to do worse on these questions than those who don’t watch any news at all” FoxNews worse than ignorance, it’s not just opinion, it’s [...]

The revelations of Rupert Murdoch’s media depravity come fast and furious…but only for consumption in another country. Here, potential six and seven figure paychecks must be protected.

Another Murdoch scandal comes and might as well go in this country.

Greenhouse gas emissions skyrocketing faster than shots of peoples privates on Yfrog and good luck doing anything about it.
