What does Rupert Murdoch's son-in-law think of Pop's TV Station?

Er… not a lot. It comes to something when a celebrated PR agent is our guide through the jungle of untruth, but he's right:
Freud told the New York Times he was "ashamed and sickened by Roger Ailes's horrendous and sustained disregard of the journalistic standards that News Corporation, its founder and every other global media business aspires to" and prefaced his comment by saying he was "by no means alone within the family or the company" in holding such hostile views of Fox News.

"by no means alone within the... company" - he has a point, although I couldn't possibly reveal my own thoughts on the matter! By the way, Fox just announced their new commentator to join the fair and (un)balanced O'Reilly and Hannity - Sarah 'why are there two Koreas' Palin...

Very sensible of you, 'Dean'. Amongst all the other idiocies, I'd missed the Korea quote. Presumably she's confused by the two Dakotas too…

What a wonderful channel Fox is. It almost looks like they're running a slow-motion coup.

I fear my elaborately constructed pseudonym may have been uncovered, though I'm glad it took a sleuth of your magnificence to unpick the tapestry of lies. Just because I revealed my home town, place of residence, employer, football team. Oh, I see how you did it now...
