FOX News Channel's chairman rails on liberals at the annual Radio and Television News Directors Association dinner.

He refers to the Nevada Democratic debate, the one the NV Dem party just canceled. He says any candidate who thinks he can blacklist any news organization is making a "terrible mistake."

He speaks of the power of the press, and the freedom of the press. He speaks of freedom of speech, which reminds me of his big guy at Fox, O'Really yelling at everyone to "shut up."

He says the greatest danger is a newsroom in which everyone thinks alike. The worst part of watching him is that he really believes this stuff, yet he has allowed Fox to be the mouthpiece for the White House.

1. I tried. Really, I did.

But I just can't sit through more than a few seconds of that blowhard's monologue.

But if, as you say, he claims that the greatest danger is a newsroom in which everyone thinks alike, he probably figures that, on some days, Hannity is more hateful than O'Reilly and, on others, O'Reilly is more hateful. And that's "fair and balanced," the Fox Noise way.

2. His remarks and jokes about Obama are way over the line

NO democrat should appear on Faux Noise.

4. "France's biggest military victory ever"? Are we counting Napoleon?

What an idiot.

5. Republicans have a lock on prodigious jowls

From Ed Meese to Karl Rove to this piece of work, never trust anyone with flapping cheeks.

6. Mr. Ailes, Democratic candidates are not afraid of journalists

It's just that Fox doesn't have any journalists, nor do they produce anything that could be described as journalism.

Fox is a 24-hour commercial for the Republican party.
