Re: Keith's item about MURDOCH firing (in the future) AILES...

[UTUSN]

So somebody posted here earlier that Keith had said something about MURDOCH firing AILES, no more details. I tuned in and KO did 2-3 teases throughout the program until he got to it with MURDOCH as Worst Person. I listened as focused as possible, because it is incredible to me that this would even be a possibility--AILES the NIXONite, the facilitator of LIMBOsevic and O'LOOFAH and the whole Faux Propaganda Network?!1 Just not possible.

The item came from Gawker, and the quote Keith used DOES, incredibly, raise that possibility. It comes from "a former News Corp insider" and the highlighting shows AILES as the reference to the pronoun "who" ---the one being identified as soon to be shitcanned!1

Now, I *still* find this incredible, and a-hole AILES will probably start his own wingnut network if it happens, but it would CERTAINLY ROCK MY WORLD!1

And the item shows that MURDOCH -------****DID want the O.J. book to go forward and DID NOT WANT***---- Judith REGAN fired!1

Below that is a fond look back at that wacky wingnut couple REGAN and Bernie KERIK in heat.

HarperCollins Chief Was Aggressive, Awkward

Jane Friedman's departure as HarperCollins CEO, first reported by Gawker, has been officially confirmed by the book publisher. Her replacement by Brian Murray, 21 years her junior,... .... As a surprised fellow executives groped for answers about the change last night, some speculated it might even have its roots in late 2006, when Friedman, with the backing of Roger Ailes, squelched the a high-profile book overseen by HarperCollins executive Judith Regan by alleged killer OJ Simpson, then pushed Regan out of the company in the wake of Regan's remarks about Jews. As one former News Corp. insider put it:

(QUOTE) Friedman got canned, in my view, for being anti-Regan. Rupert wanted the Simpson book out, and he also was taken in by Ailes, who orchestrated both the anti If I Did It campaign (against the OJ Simpson book) and the anti-Semitism campaign (this is fact), who will soon be shitcanned for the same reasons. (UNQUOTE) ....


Regan was, by most accounts, even brassier than Friedman, and more confrontational. She became a rival, including for attention and approval from Murdoch. By the time a scandal arose over a Regan-overseen OJ Simpson book in 2006, Friedman had quietly "been waiting to fire Judith," Michael Wolff wrote in Vanity Fair last year. When she finally did so, she checked with Murdoch, but badly fumbled things. Grigoriadis wrote:

(QUOTE) Murdoch sat in the VIP section in the balcony above Europe. As it turns out, he didn’t know that Friedman was telling people Regan was fired—because he wasn’t even aware that she had been fired. He certainly hadn’t expected Friedman to fire her that night, before the holiday party. Although a News Corp. spokesperson denies it, some in the company are certain that Friedman misinterpreted their conversation—Murdoch had given his okay to fire her at some undetermined point in the future. But once it had been done, there was no turning back. (UNQUOTE) ....

So here's a fond look at what heroic Bernie KERIK was doing on 9-11 (stepping out of the shower), and his blast from the past, Judith REGAN. A couple of her men (the last graphic being an abstract of LIMBOsevic, since she published the first (two?) of his books, ghost-written (the 1st, at least) by alleged assaulter John FUND):

.... Then Judith and Rupert found each other -- and ReganBooks was born. Not only did their commercial instincts mesh, but Judy's what's-the-world-ever-done-for-me politics were highly compatible with the Murdoch view.

And then the sex part. It's a one-woman show.

I have never heard anyone talk about sex the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone talk about their sexual partners the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone analyze individual motivations, the workings of the marketplace, and politics, too, in such precisely sexual terms. The other day, on her show, she kept interrupting her tempered guests on the subject of why women like Bill Clinton, and, voice rising, saying: "They want to have sex with him -- that's why they like him!"

Early in her career at Simon & Schuster, she published a book called The Rogue Warrior and fought tooth and nail for a full-face cover photo of the author. "Don't they understand?" she stormed to me. "Women will buy this because they want to fuck him!" She got the full face and a best-seller.

http://www.zianet.com/insightanalytical/newlow.htm (by DUer Gloria: )

Regan looked straight into the camera and for almost 10 minutes, delivered a pseudo stream-of-consciousness poetry riff mocking Clinton. Referring to his sad boyhood, she mocked his loneliness, then proclaimed that he built himself up and called himself KING, because "I am rich and I can do what I want!" She likened him to the cast out Socks, and envisioned him an old man meeting up with Socks at 125th street, both holding tin cups. ....

It was incredibly vicious. What was especially appalling was how she took the most painful aspects of Bill's background--his truly grievous childhood--and twisted them, using them to mock him. If this wasn't the "politics of personal destruction" I don't know how else you could describe this horrific display. ....

And I (the poster) will claim credit for insight. Back when KERIK's book for REGAN was debutting, she hosted him on her Faux interview show. His tale was of his missing mother, who inexplicably abandoned him as a tot. She never showed up for a custody hearing. The premise of the book was that this tough uber-male had this hole in his heart, thereby setting the pants on fire of tough wingnuts of all genders. As she probed him about the book, she and KERIK locked smouldering,WILD WINGNUT HOT gazes. Once the mother-thing was done, she moved on to his heroics (which were what?) on 9-11. She asked WHERE HE WAS when the planes hit. Without missing a WILD WINGNUT HOT eye-lock, he said, "Stepping out of the shower." She swallowed and held a long breath. The image of nekkid KERIK was plainly etched on the Faux camera lens during the LONG pause. He added, "In my office." Another LONG pause. He added, "After WORKING OUT." There was another swallow. I suspected BACK THEN that something was cooking between publisher and author, and it weren't spaghetti. Only 2 or 3 years later, when KERIK's many other past deeds floated to the surface like dead bodies did it become official that there was indeed WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE between the two, that the two of them alternated their WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE sessions with WORKING OUT together, that he had used NYPD to track down what happened to his mother, that he used NYPD to provide security for his personal WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE sessions, that the WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVENEST was a city-paid apartment near the WTC intended as a rest site for rescue and recovery workers. The REGAN-KERIK Faux interview was pure musk in the air. Why don't Shrub's handlers hire some of US for intelligence work?

1. It doesn't surprise me too much

When it became obvious that Tony Blair was going to win a sweeping victory in the UK, Murdoch booted out the editor of the noxious Sun tabloid and overnight it went from being acid-drippingly conservative to being a cheerleader for New Labour. Murdoch probably figures Fox has ridden the conservative wave about as far as it can go and now it's time to get with the new program.

2. Wow. If he fires AILES I'll be doing my long postponed celebrations from 2000 & 2004 n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

3. have you heard her talk about Kerik now?

pretty amusing

hell hath, etc......

[UTUSN]

5. What does she say? In the interview (above) they melted the camera. Now

what can she say? That he was a flop in bed?


And I wondered when she got fired because she seemed to have a direct line to sugar daddy Rupert. Now it comes out he didn't want her fired. What steaming piles these people are living!1

[Berry Cool]

4. ARRRRGGGGGHHH! Avast ye mateys!

Could it be that Rupe's gonna make Ailes walk the plank????

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH! We can only hope so!!
