Nyah Nyah Nyah

Getting in one last lick before the great Fox War becomes yesterday’s news, Mickey Kaus follows up today on his earlier blog post about Fox News’ lack of independence:

I argued that I have no faith that Roger Ailes didn’t take direction from the Bush White House. The most sophisticated response I’ve gotten is, in effect, ‘Sure he did. But you don’t think Rick Kaplan at CNN took direction from the Clinton White House?’ I don’t know about Kaplan. But Kaplan only ran CNN for three years or so — just passing through. Roger Ailes pretty much is Fox News. The network has never existed without him.

Seriously?  This was the most sophisticated rebuttal he got?  That’s pathetic.  Conservatives really need to step up their game.
