WHILE I’M SAVAGING BIG MEDIA for ignoring the protests in Iran, it’s worth noting that FoxNews isn’t exactly flooding the zone on the Hong Kong protests. In fact, I just ran this search on the Fox site and the top story mentioning Hong Kong — and the only one in the last couple of days — is actually about Muslims in Hong Kong complaining about prejudice. Oh, yeah, that’s the big story out of Hong Kong this week. What this means, of course, is that one guy who sleeps around a lot has outcovered the whole Murdoch media machine.
Is there some rule in the Big Media Secret Book that says you have to suck up to some dictator in order to be a member of the club?
