DOES ROGER AILES KNOW ABOUT
THIS? The most entertaining news from the Kerry campaign trail
comes in the last paragraph of Anne Kornblut's story
in today's Globe:
Some 200 business leaders
endorsed Kerry yesterday, including executives from Oracle, Bank
of America, and three other companies who flew here to attend the
round-table. They decried rising US deficits and what several said
was a chilly international business climate under Bush. Peter
Chernin, president and chief operating officer of Rupert Murdoch's
News Corporation, said that the Bush administration's
"isolationist" and "occasionally bellicose" rhetoric was bad for
US financial interests and trading abroad.
Odd, but searching for
"Chernin"
at FoxNews.com yields nothing since August 2003. You'd think they'd
want to get this up right away, so that they could be fair and
balanced and all. In fact, Media Log looks forward to the sight of
Sean Hannity interviewing his boss on the depradations of George W.
Bush.
NEW IN THIS WEEK'S
PHOENIX. An enterprising blogger digs up the
unexpected:
journalists who make financial contributions to
politicians.
