The Whole Delivery

But hey, at least this is one sign where you don't have to follow the boss' thoughts as a news organization. Then again, Fox News isn't a news organization. (More at The Whole Delivery to come, stay tuned.) 

He most certainly did . RICKS: I think that Benghazi generally was hyped, by this network especially, and that now that the campaign is over, I think he's backing off a little bit. They're not going to stop Susan Rice from being secretary of state. SCOTT: When you have four people dead, including the first dead U.N. ambassador -- U.S. ambassador in more than 30 years, how do you call that hype?  RICKS: How many security contractors died in Iraq, do you know? SCOTT: I don't. RICKS: No. Nobody does, because nobody cared. We know that several hundred died, but there was never an official count done of security contractors dead in Iraq. So when I see this focus on what was essentially a small firefight, I think, number one, I've covered a lot of firefights. It's impossible to figure out what happens in them sometimes. And second, I think that the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox was operating as a wing of Republican...

Oh it is glorious, and this is before even Pennsylvania was closed. O'Lielly was blowing a gasquet and fearing his American white world dominance was ending (And the silent disbelief on Megyn Kelly and Baier's face when O'Lielly said "the country" is changing" was hilarious): "People feel they are entitled to things, and which candidate is going to give them things." And you should all know what he meant by being entitled to things. He almost was on the verge of reverting back to his epic nutcase self, though he is always a nut: It really was quite fascinating and hilarious to see, but expected though. The Whole Delivery's election aftermath coverage will continue, as this day proceeds.

King Mike and one of his many wealthy buddies in Road Runners queen Mary Wittenberg were full stream ahead with having their marathon go as planned today all throughout Friday, until regular New Yorkers, especially in the marathon's starting point in Staten Island, gave their thoughts on how idiotic and immoral their out of touch plutocratic thoughts were. One Staten Island native putting it clear as day how angry they were (and still are) at Bloomberg was Maryanne Alessio on Fox News' Neil Cavuto, a network that certainly felt the need to rip Bloomberg constantly after he tepidly endorsed Obama the day before. It was one of the rare times when Fox News and Cavuto actually produced something meaningful and worth a damn (Apologies for the audio being low and not having the equipment to get it properly off TV yet, but if you are in a quiet location and turn the volume up to its highest, you will hear it all). "I think the marathon is a disgrace and shame on Blo...

Sheppard Smith is the only person on Fixed Propaganda worth a damn. He has shown that since the tragedy of Katrina, and this year, he was fierce on his position that the United States doesn't torture no matter the circumstances. That was in contrast to almost everyone else on his network calling it "harsh interrogations" and justifying those "harsh interrogations" rhetoric and actions. Yesterday Smith had another moment of honesty that you don't see from anyone else at that network during another tragic moment. As the information on James von Bunn came to light, Smith talked about how everyone demonized the now prescient DHS report from April on right-wing extremism and admitted that they were warned: Though Smith didn't admit that his network did all the immature whining and ridiculous yapping as they always do, it was still a moment that you could tip your hat to or say "Halelujah!" You have every right to be in exultation after that, because...

Via TPM, the Washington Post writers Christian Davenport and Paul Duggan give a fitting sendoff on slain officer Stephen Tyrone Johns. Colleagues called Stephen T. Johns "Big John," for he was well over 6 feet tall. But mostly friends recalled the security guard's constant courtesy and friendliness. "A soft-spoken, gentle giant," said Milton Talley, a former employee of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, where Johns was killed yesterday in the line of duty -- shot, authorities said, by an avowed white supremacist who entered the museum with a rifle. Deep.

Or I'm leaning towards the second one being slightly more.

Photo from Google Get this from Politico's Michael Calderon today : In Michael Wolff’s forthcoming biography of Rupert Murdoch, “ The Man Who Owns The News ,” the author writes that the media mogul has seemed to turn away lately from his cable news network, and isn’t fond its top-rated personality, Bill O’Reilly. “It is not just Murdoch (and everybody else at News Corp.’s highest levels) who absolutely despises Bill O’Reilly, the bullying, mean-spirited, and hugely successful evening commentator,” Wolff wrote, “but [Fox News chief executive] Roger Ailes himself who loathes him. Success, however, has cemented everyone to each other." “The embarrassment can no longer be missed,” Wolff wrote, in another section of the book. “He mumbles even more than usual when called on to justify it. He barely pretends to hide the way he feels about Bill O’Reilly. And while it is not that he would give Fox up—because the money is the money; success trumps all—in the larger sense of who he i...

They are just losing it over there in Murdoch land. First, they were the nonsense filter between Mark Fudge and the McShame campaign pushing the Ashley Todd story. Then, after Fudgie posts that Obama "wanted to redistribute wealth" on his site, Fixed ran with the story. Not only a major distortion, but a total desperate lie. Media Matters led to movement of the real story going on : On-screen text on Fox News echoed the Drudge Report in falsely claiming that Sen. Barack Obama said it is a "tragedy" that the Supreme Court has not addressed wealth redistribution. In fact, the "tragedy" Obama identified during the interview was in what he said was the civil rights movement's overreliance on the courts to pursue political and economic justice. Finally, nutty nut anchor Megyn Kelly showed how crazy and angry she is when she talks to Bill Burton, Obama's spokesman, yesterday. Boy, was it something to see : HAHAHAHA. I don't know what's more funny...
