Wonkette has posted the memos of Fox News chief John Moody. Among the Easter eggs buried therein:

Do not fall into the easy trap of mourning the loss of US lives and asking out loud why are we there? The US is in Iraq to help a country brutalized for 30 years protect the gains made by Operation Iraqi Freedom and set it on the path to democracy. Some people in Iraq don't want that to happen. That is why American GIs are dying. And what we should remind our viewers.

While it is no surprise that Fox News is biased beyond belief, the fact that people still consider their product "news" boggles the mind. Fox News is dangerous to journalism in the same way that a lobotomized mental patient performing open heart surgery would be dangerous to medicine. The folks at Fox News are not irresponsible journalists – they're not journalists. Michael Moore's problem with media (prior to the Iraq war) was not so much that media was slanted, but that journalists weren't "asking out loud why are we there". Consequently, he has been lambasting interviewers - not for their failure to parrot his own beliefs - but to do their jobs and to investigate skeptically and thoroughly. Yesterday on CNN some bimbo anchor lady burped out the fact that Bush was getting ready to shovel under our national forests, followed by two talking points (pro and con) and an entreaty to the viewer to "decide for yourself" what it all meant. Giggling like a tickled toddler, she then turned to the next topic. While mildly informative, that ain't journalism – it's press-release mouthpiece hack work. So while the networks scramble to scoop the latest tabloid irrelevancy swirling around Bush's daughters and the non-story of doomed anti-gay legislation, the serious business of ruining our country continues unabated from a White House bunker. Hopefully, someone – somewhere - is thinking about relevant issues; even though television news networks are too busy to notice.
