Yes, Godā€¦please give us an outlet more rightwing than Fox. We really need that.

ā€œFox has a monopoly, and thereā€™s a huge opening for a competitor to Fox on the right thatā€™s righter than Fox. Because Fox does wuss out on a bunch of issues ā€” immigration is the most obvious one,ā€ Kaus said.

And here I thought the natural competition for Fox was a conservative channel dedicated to telling the truth instead of spinning tall tales that only lazy-thinking people will think are true.

Um, please, stop with the contrarian nonsense. Fox ā€œwussesā€ out on a lot of things? You think thereā€™s a place for something even more insane than Fox? And it would be ā€œjournalismā€?

Go back to Slate, dude.

Wait. What happened to ā€œFair and Balancedā€?

The extremely unhealthy-looking manā€™s point applies to all TV ā€˜newsā€™.

I always wonder how much of his schtick is con and how much is self-delusion. Either way, playing morals czar at a circle jerk is a dog that wonā€™t hunt.

If you are ever confused as to what a poser or phony intellectual isā€¦give Kaus a lookā€¦youā€™ll be clear on all of it. Heā€™s an insufferable pretender and mouth organ.

You canā€™t both want to work at Pravda, and criticize Pravda at the same time comrade.

I salute you, sir!

Of course thereā€™s only one official PR organization for the republican party. Why would you think it would be otherwise? Idiotā€¦

You are too kind, sir. All credit is due to the inspiring Mickey Kaus.

Carlson allegedly said, ā€œWe canā€™t trash Fox on the site. I work there,ā€ according to Kaus.

Good to know your previous level of integrity is still intact, Tucker, baby. Needleā€™s still at zero.

Mickey Kaus is a big phony. He made his name as a pundit playing the role of a ā€œliberalā€ commentator who strangely always seemed to be opposed to the things that real liberals cared about. Since he ended up in the dregs of conservative media at the Daily Caller ā€“ a position he richly deserves ā€“ he may at least have finally attained some level of honesty as the wingnut hack that heā€™s always been. And keep in mind, heā€™s criticizing Fox News and the Daily Caller not for being dishonest per se, but for not being committed enough to extremist right-wing rhetoric. What an asshole. I hope his career sinks even lower. Whatā€™s next: Breitbart?

Oā€™Reillyā€™s viewers average about 72 years old. The huge opening to the right of Fox is a grave.
