"Frank" Foer may be smart, Marty, but we wonder if he's that smart:

ThereÂ’s [SIC!] no denying the Journal would fit snugly into his empire. They share the same politics. So much so that at the height of last yearÂ’s [SIC!] election, Karen House big-footed editors in Washington and published a note retracting an articleÂ’s [SIC!] description of Fox News Channel as "a network sympathetic to the Bush cause and popular with Republicans." (One reporter from the Washington bureau told me her boss, Gerry Seib, "didnÂ’t [SIC!] know about the correction until it was a done deal.") More important, the Journal also jibes with MurdochÂ’s [SIC!] wish to launch a Fox business channel.

Okay, maybe Big Foot retracted it, but it still ran in the first place, meaning the Liberal Edition agreed with it -- and Gerry, a very knee-jerk-CW editor, probably didn't know as such a description is mere background noise among the CW. Besides, doesn't it make sense to court favors with a maybe future publisher? The Journals have courted favors for years. (And of course that observation is as biased as it is true.) This proves nothing, Marty. The Journals are two papers, and despite His KNEE-JERK NEO-NAZI ULTRA-RIGHT blahblah SLIME will NOT tamper with the good thing of seeing soothing bromides describing Him as the God who left one of the great news-gathering organizations ALONE.

Oh by the way Marty, tell Frank to get a couple of dozen new interns.
