Startling Facts Demonstrate that U.S. Is In Crisis --- Because of Tony Snow and Fox News
       Fox News has been cited as the only conservative news network on the air. However, that is no longer true. It is no longer “conservative” by anyone’s measure.
Fox News is only a tiny part (and probably the least profitable) of Rupert Murdoch’s former empire, “News Corporation,” which is now a $55 billion corporation with annual revenues of $24 billion and many, many shareholders, seeking the highest return on their investments.
This expansion and needed capitalization has made the former owner, Rupert Murdock, a veritable servant to his shareholders and to the bickerings of the three families he has sired.
There’s clear evidence that they at News Corporation no longer appreciate the fact that Hume put Fox News on the map, and they are setting him up to force him out. He is put in constant competition with the New York office which obviously is receiving more talent and money than the Washington bureau.
Guests and panelists on the Washington shows are dictated from some unknown person at Fox. The guests on “Fox News Sunday” yesterday were the liberal Sen Spector and Democrat Joe Biden, who agreed that Pres. Bush is a disgrace, while host Chris Wallace tried his best to keep the show from becoming a “bash Bush” event. The panel saw Brit Hume facing two from the state-owned National Public Radio, Maura Liasson and Juan Williams (whose idea of a discussion is to yell as loud as he can and who had Hume shaking his head in disbelief throughout most of the discussion) and neo-conservative Bill Kristol, who is an (unknown) partner of Fox in the “Weekly Standard” newspaper, who has his father’s money as leverage and shows his disdain for Hume.
        When Tony Snow arrives today at the White House he will be eaten alive by Pinch Sulzberger at the New York Times and Donald Graham at the Washington Post.
       We in Massachusetts have watched Sulzberger for years as he has dominated this state with the Times and its subsidiary in New England, the Boston Globe.  Our experience with the Graham family is new but they are obviously clones of the Sulzbergers.
