Peggy Noonan, in The Wall Street Journal:
Fox is owned by News Corp., which also owns this newspaper, so one should probably take pains to demonstrate that one is attempting to speak with disinterest and impartiality, in pursuit of which let me note that Glenn Beck has long appeared to be insane.
I don't want to burst your bubble. There are no "news" organizations in the United States. Period. No other answer is correct.
There are a huge number of propaganda machines owned by the rich but there are no "news" organizations.

The suburbs were hers, once upon a time. When Beck was a twitching lump of drugged-out self-pity, she inspired the Premium Outlets Jacquerie to one victory after another.
