   No, not for Rupert! He’s so delusional that he ONLY believes what he wants to believe!

   But he has so many followers. Besides, where else do you get the news? Not the “left wing controlled lame stream media”.

   And of course the NEW YORK TIMES called the election more accurately than anyone else (thanks, Nate Silver), thanks to a reality-based approach…

   First, Hannity is not a newscaster. He’s man running a show that expresses his opinion.
   ♦
   Second, I doubt if Rupert cares what Hannity says as long as his ratings are good and his show brings in advertising revenue.

   So funny how Fox and Fiends is whining about their loss. Maybe next time the republican retards will figure out the correct population modeling math so they’ll know ahead of time they’re going to lose. So funny Mitt the Twit believed he was going to win so he didn’t write a concession speech until he learned just how wrong he’d been.

    .
    I doubt Danziger particularly cares either. It’s that “Sanity not Hannity” is a better slogan than “Sanity, not Bill O’Reilly” even though one is no less true than the other.

    I love the New York Times! A pity more conservatives don’t trust it as one of their reliable sources of information.

    What can you say about a “Fair and Balanced” newscast that starts its election coverage with “We lost.”

    Alas there are a lot people who come to believe of his show, and others like it, as news.

    In the mid-1970s, we joked that Mike Royko (then at The Chicago Sun-Times) wouldn’t ever quit the paper because what other Chicago paper was there for him to go to – The Chicago Tribune?! Haw, that Republican strong-hold?? The idea was just too ridiculous!
    .
    A few years later, Rupert Murdoch bought the Sun-times. He made all kinds of weird changes. The first day’s issue that came out under his control had the layout and typeface of a typical scandal tabloid. There was even a picture of some guy who won a contest of how many cigars he could cram in his mouth. It was astonishing, and I wish a still had a copy, but I literally spit on it and threw it in the garbage.
    .
    In his columns, Royko kept calling Murdoch, “The Alien.” And a short time later Royko left for the Tribune! Never say never. There were other valuable people who left, too. It was a sad time for Chicago journalism.
    .
    And a few years later Murdoch sold the paper, part of standard procedure in his purely profit oriented media empire. It was the slow beginning of decline for both the Sun-Times and the Tribune, that continues to this day. Scandals and bankruptcies have followed, new managements, and reorganizations. The Internet will eventually eliminate print editions of both papers — you watch.
    .
    The output of journalism is getting away from paper that you can hold in your hand, from which you clip articles to put on the bulletin board. Are electronic media secure and permanent enough, free from 1984-type revisions, to guarantee our access to free information? I fear not. But it’s the way things will be.
    .
    And besides, I’d surely feel strange taking a computer into the bathroom with me.
