It’s also the anniversary of the release of the Access Hollywood tape, so today is a landmark in pussy grabbing commentary. We don’t know if Rupert Murdoch has sent Vladimir Putin a card, but we do know that Murdoch’s ex-wife, Wendy Deng, started dating Putin a few years back, so coincidences and commonalities abound. Both seem determined to destroy democracy to fatten their coffers and expand their power.
The Empire State Building is illuminated in red, white and blue to celebrate Fox’s anniversary. Sweet Jesus. The Hill:
“25 years ago we took a big chance on a new news network – first we had to build a professional staff and equipment with studios, then came the biggest problem – getting full distribution. But we felt there was an audience waiting for it,” Murdoch said in a video message. “And we found out millions of Americans whose views and tastes were not reflected on CNN, the long-term monopoly. Nobody thought they could be challenged. Well, we all know what happened. More than 130 of you have been with us every step of the way.”
“Often we drive the national conversation and raise issues that would otherwise go unheard. We will continue to expand and look to the future and I know we continue will succeed beyond everyone’s expectations. Delivering content vital to our democracy. Thank you for all you do and congratulations on this great milestone,” he added.
“Delivering content vital to our democracy.” Pardon me while I faint.
You’ll be thrilled to know that Mike Lindell and Fox have made up, though. Lindell was apparently hemorrhaging money and so he put together a killer package, with copies of his book and kids’ pillows featuring Bible stories. Hurry, it’s two months before Christmas. You’ve got to watch this. This is pure self parody.

Mike needs to fatten the coffers. He’s still in litigation with Dominion and now the State of Idaho wants to be reimbursed for an audit.
