Ridiculous.
During a segment in which Fox & Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade labeled New York Times reporter Jacques Steinberg and editor Steven Reddicliffe "attack dogs," Fox News featured photos of Steinberg and Reddicliffe that appeared to have been digitally altered -- the journalists' teeth had been yellowed, their facial features exaggerated, and portions of Reddicliffe's hair moved further back on his head.
Anyone who claims that Fox, the folks who weeks ago labeled Michelle Obama as "Obama's Baby Mama", is running a credible journalistic enterprise over there in Midtown is either lying to you or an irretrievable dolt.

Apparently God really hates Bill O'Reilly or perhaps he's upset that Fox News had the temerity to fire the heavenly hairdo known as John Gibson. Regardless, he is showing His displeasure by sending a plague of locusts bedbugs decending upon the Fox News studios in midtown Manhattan.
Fox Newsroom in Midtown Besieged by Bed Bugs
Guests at Fox News now have more to worry about than Bill O'Reilly's barking; there are also bed bugs biting. A senior vice president for operations and engineering at Fox News had nothing better to do yesterday than speak to the biased, freedom-hating New York Times about the situation, confirming that the Manhattan newsroom discovered the problem a few weeks ago, when an employee "caught a bug and showed it to us."
Bedbugs are adept at hitchhiking to new locales in the pockets and clothing creases of their human hosts, so it's not surprising that they've managed to infiltrate Fox, where patriotic Alpha-male hot blood surges in abundance. An exterminator called in to Fox said that one unnamed employee's apartment has "the worst infestation he had seen in 25 years in the business."
It's still unclear whose apartment the exterminator referred to, but bed bugs have been known to savor the blood (and furry protection) of male bears. Fox swears the bed bugs have been "totally eradicated," but the annoying thing about bed bugs is their tenacious ability to survive for months between feedings, and in some cases they can live up to a year before sucking blood again. The bed begs have clearly refused to let New Yorkers rest, but their sudden infiltration of Dick Cheney's favorite news source can mean only one thing: Al Qaeda training.
Pests, all.

As if you needed any more proof that Fox News is in the tank for Rudy Giuliani, as if the recent brouhaha over Fox News TV footage used in TV ads (OK for Rudy, not so for Romney) didn't tell you all you need to know on that subject, here comes one of Bernie Kerik's mistresses, former book publisher Judith Regan, to set you straight. In a $100 million lawsuit filed today, Regan accuses a "senior executive" at News Corp of encouraging her to lie to federal investigators about her relationship with Kerik in order to protect the presidential viability of Rudy Giuliani. Oh, yeah. If what she is alleging is true, and her lawyer says she has the proof to back it up, this could be very big news. From the Times:
Ex-Publisher Says News Corp. Official Wanted Her to Lie to Protect Giuliani
Judith Regan, the book publisher who was fired by the News Corporation last year, asserts in a lawsuit filed today that a senior executive at the media conglomerate encouraged her to mislead federal investigators about her relationship with Bernard B. Kerik during his bid to become homeland security secretary in late 2004.
The lawsuit asserts that the News Corporation executive wanted to protect the presidential aspirations of former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Kerik's mentor, who had appointed him New York City police commissioner and had recommended him for the federal post.
...
In the civil complaint filed in state court in Manhattan, Ms. Regan says the company has long sought to promote Mr. Giuliani's ambitions. But the lawsuit does not elaborate on that charge, or identify the executive who she alleged pressured her to mislead investigators, nor does it offer details or evidence to back up her claim.
...
"Defendants were well aware that Regan had a personal relationship with Kerik," the complaint says. "In fact, a senior executive in the News Corporation organization told Regan that he believed she had information about Kerik that, if disclosed, would harm Giuliani's presidential campaign. This executive advised Regan to lie to, and to withhold information from, investigators concerning Kerik."
Any argument to the effect that Fox News is a credible journalistic enterprise are henceforth inoperative.
UPDATE: The Smoking Gun has the complaint. Here's a screenshot of the relevant passage:
