NY Times Picks Liberal Who Bashed Fox News as ‘Un-American’ to Rev

In 2009, Jacob Weisberg argued “The Australian-British-continental model of politicized media that Murdoch has applied at Fox is un-American.” This makes him a natural choice for The New York Times in picking a reviewer for Gabriel Sherman’s new anti-Roger Ailes biography “Loudest Voice in the Room.” In Weisberg’s opinion, instead of helping the GOP defeat Obama, “Ailes effectively sabotaged…
