Ok, everybody who's shocked by the news of this internal email communication raise their hands. Fox News is slanted? And that slant is being enforced by its producers? Look, it's always good when stuff like this comes to light, if only to further puncture the absurd facade that Fox is actually [cough, cough] "fair and balanced." Just as it is similarly revealing when the top exec at Fox News refers to NPR brass as Nazis and goes on a rip-roaring rant against Jon Stewart. I mean, anyone familiar with Roger Ailes and his history as a Republican operative was probably not shocked by that outburst, either. But for the folks who pay only passing attention to Fox News's role in the journalistic ecosystem, it's useful information. Anyway, I see that Joe Romm is playing this up as "Foxgate" and a "bombshell," before getting a grip:
Well, okay, this would be a bombshell email coming from any other news organization in the world.
Which pretty much sums up my take.
