Wesley Clark Gets Schooled The recent media distration over Wesley Clark's comments don't inspire confidence about the left's ability to combat the right's advantage with the media as well as the right's own media apparatus (e.g., Drudge, hate radio, the Moonie media, and, of course, Fox News).
Wesley Clark chose to work with the enemy and now he's paying a price. Clark signed on as a military and foreign affairs analyst with Fox News in 2005. Although the distortions of Clark's words have been reported on legitimate journalistic enterprises such as
CNN and
MSNBC, Fox News is by far the worst culprit--click

Progressives are kidding themselves big time if they think they can coexist peacefully with Roger Ailes and Fox News. As I have pointed out on this blog numerous times: Ailes and the hard right are not to be trusted; they are to be discredited marginalized, and defeated.
