When Fox Attacks

Since BillO is afraid to say his name (especially three times while in front of a mirror) and nobody will take the natterings of the New York Post seriously, executive vice president of Fox Noise John Moody has taken on the mantle himself and penned the following on “The Fox Forum:”

…Howard Wolfson is a proud liberal who, in his appearances on FOX, has outlined the Democrats’ battle plan for winning the White House. He is not preaching defeat to his party. After Sen. Clinton’s defeat, he threw his support to Barack Obama. There is room for that kind of opinion in the Big Tent known as FOX News.

But not in Keith’s head. Keith is too important to be constrained (restrained might be a different matter) by facts. He is the heir to Huntley, to Brinkley, to Chancellor, to Brokaw. (Sorry, NBC).

Keith thinks Democrats shouldn’t deign to appear on FOX. That’s the same philosophy that served John Edwards so well when he was an active candidate (among other things). Like Sen. Edwards, Keith is a non-factor now that the real decisions have been made. And like Tokyo Rose, he is a fictional conflation.

Mr. Moody, might we suggest you learn the use of metaphor?

We here at ERT wish you well, sir.

Update: Howard Wolfson Goes To War With MSNBC “Nobody has spent more time over the last two years attacking Democrats than Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, and I’m just not going to get lectured on how to be a good Democrat from them.” Are you fucking kidding me?

Update 2 Olbermann responds: “John Moody is a hysterical, doctrinaire, Right Wing hack propagandist, who conveniently forgets that when he thought I shared his allegiance to his dark view of the world, tried to hire me for Fox News. As for Mr. Wolfson, I feel very sorry for the choices he made that led him to his sad state.”


Sounds like he’s parroting back some of the lines KO said last night.

The entire Fox PR machine tends not to be too creative in that regard.

He did steal some of KO’s analogies. The Tokio Rose thing for certain.

I dunno what to think of the FOX attack. It’s kinda lame. It might be because it’s FNC, so I instantly disregard it, but… meh.

And, oh, Wolfson. Don’t worry baby. There is no love lost between and the Dems. Mostly because that’d require us to give a flying fuck about you in the first place. :D

Tumbleblogging also has an entry from our friends at Page Six who claim that Keith is trying to get Tom Brokaw banned from MSNBC. Like that is going to happen!

Keith has written a diary on Daily KOS about all this:
