Howard Kurtz's Dan Rather Scoop? Published Two Years Ago
.... ...which was posted Sunday with great hubbub on Drudge. That excerpt recounts a discussion between Dan Rather and '60 Minutes' executive producer Josh Howard that took place on the eve of the airing of the controversial piece that would end Rather's career at the network. Kurtz's story was treated as big news—but the substance, and some of the language as well, was no different from New York Press editor-in-chief David Blum's 2004 book, "Tick... Tick... Tick..: The Long Life and Turbulent Times of 60 Minutes." ....
http://www.slate.com/id/2175511/Rupert Murdoch, Closet LiberalFox News President Roger Ailes outs his boss as a Republican-hater.
By Jack Shafer
Who is responsible for the glut of books criticizing President George W. Bush?
Roger Ailes provides the answer in today's (Oct. 8) Wall Street Journal. Ailes, who is chairman and CEO of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel and the soon-to-launch Fox Business Network, is asked his opinion of Alan Greenspan's recent criticisms of President Bush. (The Bush criticisms to which the Journal refers appeared in Greenspan's book The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World.) ...
If Ailes is right about the publishers being Bush- and Republican-haters—and I'm not saying he isn't—then what do the anti-Bush books published by HarperCollins, a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., say about Rupe? Is Murdoch among the haters? As everybody knows, Murdoch is the consummate micromanager. Nothing happens in his company that he doesn't know about. .... (examples of publishings follows...)
Given the behavior of Murdoch's book companies, Ailes would have to concede at the very least that his boss subsidizes hatred of Bush and Republicans. At least we know Murdoch loves Jesus, otherwise he wouldn't have purchased Zondervan, the Christian publishing house, in 1988. Or could it be that Murdoch is a closet Satanist in addition to being a closet liberal? I call Ailes' attention to The Satanic Bible by Church of Satan founder Anton Szandor LaVey, which is published by Avon, a HarperCollins paperback imprint. ....

ODDEST couple of the decade: lifelong Democrat Andrew Stein and arch-conservative cutie Ann Coulter. The former city council president (when there was such a title) first took Coulter - author of "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans" - to the black-tie Lincoln Center Film Society gala two weeks ago, where they turned heads. More recently, they were at Soho House "in passionate liplock," according to a witness. Stein told Page Six: "She's attacked a lot of my friends, but what can I say, opposites attract!" So do blondes with ultra-long legs.
