The First Post : Democrats take on Fox

  • The loudmouths at the Fox News studios
    up on Sixth Avenue are warming up for the presidential election.


    Ann Coulter, she of the micro-skirt and acerbic tongue,
    declared former Senator John Edwards, Democratic candidate, a 'faggot' for his
    support of gay rights. Then Roger Ailes, a Republican spinmaster before Rupert
    Murdoch put him in charge of Fox News, made a Barack Obama/Osama bin Laden joke
    in a speech.


    The Democrats said that "went too far" and reacted by spiking
    a televised debate for their primary candidates which was to have been
    co-sponsored and broadcast by Fox in Nevada in August. Edwards, riled by
    Coulter, had already pulled out.


    It is a telling confrontation.

The First Post : How to complain

  • Speak softly and carry big schtick

  • But one thing that cannot be passed off as eccentricity is his reaction to the digital age.
