Is Brock supposed to look like the Joker in that pic?

hmmmm lol.

Did you happen to see the picture of Chris Christie mediaite chose to run today? It looks like he’s threatening to beat the shit out of a teacher of the year.

Why did the piece feature a disparaging image of Ailes with a cigar blowing up in his face, while a similarly extensive profile of Media Matters founder David Brock, which appeared in the same issue of the magazine, showcased a flattering portrait of the Fox News nemesis?

For the same reason TIME used the worst picture of Newt when he was TIME’s man of the year. Liberal HATE!!!

If Ailes thinks Palin is “smart”, then it’s Ailes who is the idiot. Ailes is no idiot, BTW. He understands PR. She doesn’t

Gee, I wonder. Could It be because NEW YORK magazine is to the left of Chairman ObaMao.

Liberal Media:
cue the sound of WWII plane crashing…

Here we go. Sarah Palin’s big supporter on Mediaite Matt Schneider refuting the merits of this article. If you can’t challenge the facts then question the credibility of the messenger. Of course, anything derogatory about Palin, Beck, Ailes, or Fox News is not factual. It is the product of a left leaning magazine intent on pitting Fox personnel against each other. As your colleague pointed out earlier today the magazine has done a very credible job now and before in the past writing articles about Fox News. But, a conspiracy and bias against Fox News sounds better especially when you don’t want to face the facts.

Bill Shine is protecting his product.

unnamed source vs named source…….are you for real?

Tell me Soros isn’t involved in this smear campaign? Has to work harder to get Obama elected, hope and Change won’t work this time and surely Obama’ s record wont work ( jumped from frying pan, into fire) so next, do personal assassination on opposing candidate. Obama really needs a billion to get elected, going to cost more for the smoke and mirrors tricks.

Look at the named source, Fox News Channel executive vice president of programming, Bill Shine.

That carries about as much credibility as the unnamed source, actually, less.

What a difference a couple of hours make. Colby Gall pens pens his pov:

This week’s issue of New York magazine includes an ambitious and thorough essay by Gabriel Sherman that provides an in-depth and fascinating portrayal of Fox News chief Roger Ailes. It is a must read for anyone curious about the inner-workings of the dominant cable news network, and includes a number of potentially game-changing revelations, a few of which have been outlined below.

“…….The piece appears to be a balanced and well researched feature that wisely avoids a number of political generalizations and cliches that are typical of a hit piece.

Matt Schneider offers indepth insight into same material:

Yet with an insulting image accompanying the profile and with the use of many anonymous sources forcing upon Ailes various unpleasant thoughts and feelings about his Fox News talent and potential GOP presidential candidates, it calls into question the fairness and potential motive of the entire piece.

Nice job, Matt!

Obama Requests Release Of Second Half Of $350 Billion TARP
President-elect Barack Obama yesterday (Monday) asked Congress to release the remaining $350 billion in bank bailout money that’s part of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).

http://www.dailymarkets.com/economy/2009/01/13/obama-requests-release-of-second-half-of-350-billion-tarp/

Or, you two bright ones can read it here……just to be entertained:

President-elect Barack Obama is seeking the release of the second half of the $700 billion financial bailout package, as his top economic adviser told congressional leaders in a letter Monday that the need for funding is “imminent and urgent.”

President Bush has agreed to ask Congress to release the remaining $350 billion on Obama’s behalf, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said Monday morning

TARP only became necessary due to the previous 8 years of poor capital standards.

Bush HAD to sign TARP – but the fact he did is a sad testimony to his poor record of bank oversight.

Haha, wishful thinking. Once FoxNews issued a statement, it went to every major outlet giving it even more momentum.

As I pointed out here yesterday — much to the anger of the liberals who responded — no sources or direct quotes from Roger Ailes were included in this hit piece. So only those same liberals can be surprised today when Ailes denies saying these things about Palin. Anyone with half a brain could have seen that coming down the pike.

The Left would do well to learn from this — one of the biggest problems with the liberal media today is that it believes what it wants to believe. So time and again it looks foolish — for example in this instance, or when they convinced themselves that Donald Trump was the Republican front runner.

That and other facts prove that Barney was in this up to his neck and lying. The following article explains the problems were urgent enough in 2000 to take it to Congress and deal with it, actually it was known earlier than 2000.

How Washington Failed to Rein In Fannie, Freddie
As Profits Grew, Firms Used Their Power to Mask Peril

Gary Gensler, an undersecretary of the Treasury, went to Capitol Hill in March 2000 to testify in favor of a bill everyone knew would fail.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were ascendant, giants of the mortgage finance business and key players in the Clinton administration’s drive to expand homeownership. But Gensler and other Treasury officials feared the companies had grown so large that, if they stumbled, the damage to the U.S. economy could be staggering. Few officials had ever publicly criticized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but Gensler concluded it was time to urge Congress to rein them in.

Long article, don’t be afraid of it.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/13/AR2008091302638_pf.html

During Frank’s last campaign, he was still lying, per the above article, Frank was on the banking committee, they would have had access to the information first. Then in 2003 he’s claiming he did not know anything? and even if they are in trouble, the gov’t doesn’t bail them out? Pfft!

Stance on Fannie and Freddie dogs Frank

The issue that day in 2003 was whether mortgage backers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were fiscally strong. Frank declared with his trademark confidence that they were, accusing critics and regulators of exaggerating threats to Fannie’s and Freddie’s financial integrity. And, the Massachusetts Democrat maintained, “even if there were problems, the federal government doesn’t bail them out.’’

http://articles.boston.com/2010-10-14/news/29309414_1_fannie-and-freddie-freddie-mac-fannie-mae

“In 2003, while the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee, Frank opposed a Bush administration proposal, in response to accounting scandals, for transferring oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from Congress and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to a new agency that would be created within the Treasury Department. The proposal, supported by the head of Fannie Mae, reflected the administration’s belief that Congress “neither has the tools, nor the stature” for adequate oversight. Frank stated, “These two entities …are not facing any kind of financial crisis … The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”[63] In 2003, Frank also stated what has been called his “famous dice roll”:[64] “I do not want the same kind of focus on safety and soundness [in the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac] that we have in the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision. I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidised housing.”[65]

Government officials knew that it was not “fine” and brought it to the attention of Congress. President Bush appealed to Congress to reign it in numerous times. Clinton was warned repeatedly during his term, after his term his cronies were running the FMs.

How did the Senate vote? When was it signed into law by the president? Blocking a bill doesen’t always occur in the House. Some members vote the wishes of their constituency knowing it won’t pass the Senate.

330 votes? What happened to the companion bill in the Senate, why was it not brought up for vote? You are aware that a version of the bill has to go through a voting process in the Senate and then both bills reconciled before presented to the president to sign into law? You are aware of that? No?

Krugman is a partisan idiot, they have websites that tear everything he says apart, Oxley was in the House, not Senate. Looky here, Shelby was in the Senate:

In July 2005 the committee voted on party lines for legislation that would impose tighter limits on Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s portfolios and which contained no affordable housing fund. A bill with less stringent limits passed in the House, but Senate Democrats strongly opposed Mr. Shelby’s bill, and it was not brought to the floor.

Just the Facts: The Administration’s Unheeded Warnings About the Systemic Risk Posed by the GSEs
White House News
Setting the Record Straight
In Focus: Economy
For many years the President and his Administration have not only warned of the systemic consequences of financial turmoil at a housing government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) but also put forward thoughtful plans to reduce the risk that either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would encounter such difficulties. President Bush publicly called for GSE reform 17 times in 2008 alone before Congress acted. Unfortunately, these warnings went unheeded, as the President’s repeated attempts to reform the supervision of these entities were thwarted by the legislative maneuvering of those who emphatically denied there were problems.

Calls for GSE reform listed:

You are one sick person.

Obviously, I’m no Ailes fan but I think the point of the photo is not to disparage Ailes per se so much as an illustration of the point of the article: that Ailes’ role as stage manager of both Fox News and the GOP has blown up in his face.

Instead of a knee-jerk cry of bias – just the kind of reaction we’d expect from Fox News – why don’t you consider and discuss whether or not the author made the case?

This was “just” a declaration of war by the terrified Left. They must be believing, “what Osama could, we can too”. Especially since they have managed to get their equinomical in the White House.

I think if everyone truly knew the truth about Rupert Murdoch and what’s really in his heart, there wouldn’t be these problems. If everyone just knew that for the past 30 years or so he’s been on a crusade to find all the lost kittens of the world, I think there would be less hatred of this man and all the monsters he has created in his life.

The world has changed and is changing but Roger Ailes refuses to do so. He is has quickly become an anachronism. And since he cannot shift gears, he will undo Fox News soon enough. Somebody there should tell him that he had a good run and it’s time to take a hike. You can only milk sour sentiments for so long, and he has managed to do it for a decade. It’s time now for Fox News to chart its own course — without Roger at the helm.
