This guy has a lot of experience as a Foreign Service officer. And for instance, he was the ambassador in Honduras during the Contra war. So he clearly knows how to deal with clandestine operations. That was a pretty clandestine one for several years. And he didn’t end up in jail, which is a pretty good attribute for him. A lot of others practically did.

This comes from Media Matters, as does this hilarious retrospective about Rush Limbaugh’s factual reporting, after Rush said that “we don’t make things up on this program”. Rush also stepped up to defend Bill “Falafel” O’Reilly after O’Reilly stridently claimed that FOX never lies, in defense of Brit Hume, after Hume grossly distorted FDR’s comments on Social Security.
FOXNews is a rich tapestry.
Remember when I said about objectivity being a problem for journalists? Well FOXNews doesn’t worry about bullshit like that! They just, you know, circumvent facts. I know its an old song that everyone likes to sing, but sometimes those guys make me want to set myself on fire and jump out a window.
