White House Communications Director Anita Dunn really nails it in an interview on CNN's Reliable Sources with Zowie Howie Kurtz:
"The reality of it is that Fox News operates as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party. . .take their talking points, put them on the air, take their opposition research, put them on the air, and that's fine. But let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is."With veteran Republican operative (Nixon and Reagan Administrations) Roger Ailes, and conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch in charge of Fux, with the vast majority of their pundits on the extreme right (Wee Willie, Kraphammer, Turdblossom Rove) and with their stars consisting of Herr Hannity, Boo Hoo Beck, O'Liely, and the Fox and Friends wingers (Steve Douche and Co.) how could anyone reasonably argue against that?
