I thought that was what the big corps do. They pick someone who will do their bidding, finance his campaign, and then put the screws to anyone who might torpedo them. Have I been misinformed? Is this against some sort of executive order? I know it's against the law but the law is so seldom used anymore.

If I'd carried on with Kerik, I sure wouldn't be telling the world about it.

I'll say here what I have said at other sites who posted this story today. I have no idea if she is telling the truth or not, but I am just evil enough to admit that I will enjoy the hell out of watching it all take place.

Nicole, you pop the popcorn and I'll mix the cocktails. In the middle of so much bad, this could be good.

there is quite the unsavory odor emanating from the giuliani corner...

so murdoch is going to help shield giuliani, eh? it makes me wonder about hillary and rupert. did hillary get the news corp-shield too, as part of the murdoch fundraiser on her behalf. if so, what does that say for hillary? and, if not, what does that say about her?

either way you cut it--giuliani/hilllary--interaction with murdoch is going to leave a stench. (which is why you'll notice that giuliani and hillary both have a similar musk about them)

...But Rudy saved New York City!!!!!

I want BillO's take on this just for s--ts and grins! :)

Been watching Fox News (ugh) for the last 4 hours and guess what? No word, mention, peep or defensive comment about this matter. Is anyone really surprised?

I would love for nothing more then to see fox news execs going down for being the Crooks and Liars that they are.

I think the FCC might need to address such a blatant usage of the public airwaves (and trust) to promote a specific political candidate, don’t you?

A person could be reasonably expected to think that, yes. But the Bush FCC would allow graphic anal sex (with money shots) on primetime network TV before they'd dare go after Fox News, who played a critical role in MAKING the adminstration. The adminstration essentially serves at the whim of Fox. If Fox decides get behind DINO Hillary Clinton (who'd give them whatever they wanted if they allowed her to win), and decides to cover Bush Administration misdeeds - they're screwed. Totally, totally screwed. If you think Fox wouldn't do something so drastic, remember that Murdoch's loyalty is to power and money, not the Republican party or their ideals (beyond power and money, of course). He'd backstab them in half a second if it was in his interests to do so.

Holy cow, this is hilarious! Talk about a circular firing squad!

Sorry, but sounds like you need some help...(Humor intended)

Nope, cannot explain logic, expect pure speculation which would be..."political ploy" since

In other words we're screwed no matter what. Whens the last time these Dems had to worry about whether they would be able to pay the rent or mortgage on the 1st? Or if they would have enough money left over for groceries after filling up for the 3rd time in a week?

Judith Regan in a nutshell:

Judith Regan will say and do anything to damage former lover Bernie Kerik and the CEO who fired her ass for trying to publish the OJ book. Regan is a cougar. A middle aged divorced woman thrilled to find a rich and powerful man (Bernie Kerik) who banged her brains out and drove her to sexual ecstasy. When Bernie eventually dumped her ass for younger poontang; Judith turned into the archetypical vengeful scorned bitch on wheels.

monica gave better lip service!

The country would have been better off if the Cons hadn't have turned the Monica incident into three ring global media circus. We would have been better off if it never hit the media.

We would have been better off retaining our title as The Great Satan and staying out of imperialism.

What better deterrent from war could you have then being known as The Great Satan?

Not questioning the accuracy of your comments, but are you J. Regan's roommate and she
shared this w/you, or is there another reliable source you used to obtain?

Wonder how many millions of people rely upon this river as their source of "clean", drinking water? A tragedy in
the making...

And people wonder why we're slowly being poisoned to death from Chinese imports?

Sheesh

Yea... I might think exactly that... IF I had any faith in the FCC anymore to do its job as chartered...Unfortunately, they've shown themselves to be more of a rubber stamp these days than any guardian of the 'public' airwaves. Murdock, Redstone, there are others as well with huge ownership stakes in media empires calling the shots so it seems... At all levels of media ownership and media oversite.

I have sensed a trend for awhile now and it is coeleascing into a coherent idea... The idea being more or less around the fact that certain wealthy individuals internationally, not just any one nationality, with private selfish agendas designed primarliy to continue enriching themselves at everyones expense and secondarily to advance certain ideological agendas which again ensures their status, have plowed their wealth into these selfish ambitions. Ambitions based in raw power and control for its own sake.

This is done thru among other mechanisms the manipulation of media content via majority ownership and/or stock control. This I think, is very much behind the way the news media now feeds pablum and bullshit to the masses over actual investigative reporting of facts and events of real importance...There are a few lone souls in the media wilderness, (I can't say Regan is necessarily one of them, she has her agenda as well) who occasionally calls the devil by name or meekly alludes to this reality in print or verbal commentary. But noone is calling the real purps onto the carpet to account for whats happened now. How can they, the purps are these very wealthy individuals who owns those institutions which employs these media reps. Bought and sold careers right before the eyes of the masses who don't understand and the news journalists who understand all to well and are either in shock at the realization, suspension of belief that it can actually be coming to this, or outright collusion in the hopes of advancing up the career ladder of this new paradigm.

It ain't right but I don't know specifically at this point whats to be done about it. It did not happen overnight, but it has occurred and is continuing to occur, in part due to mergers, and the mechanisms that allowed that, and perversion of those institutions which in a normal environment would have prevented this from occurring in the first place. However, it is fact that the first step in any healing of any addiction is acceptance and recognition of the problem. My rant is not that recognition.. A lone blogger bitching about it doesn't put anything real into motion. But; it is representative of at least one person raising their hand in this classroom of life and saying "ummm, over here sir or mam, we have a problem"...............JD

Gary @ 48:

Murdochs endorsing Hillary anyway.

I dont believe you are right. He is endorsing Clinton in the democratic primary. If you recall, they (republicans) supported Kerry in the primaries over Dean. Bush could not have defeated Dean.

Hillary is beatable. (Obama is probably as well) Edwards and probably Kucinich are not.

Rupert Murdoch is not an ideologue. He is a pragmatic businessman. Murdoch is smart enough to endorse and make financial contributions to the front runners of both political parties. No matter who gains control of the White House in 2008; Murdoch will still be owed favors.

No, because their head writers are too busy trying to figure out how they can best convince the Fox sheep that News Corp. is the victim of a dirty trick perpetrated by the so-called "Clinton Machine." LOL!!!!!!!!!!!1

48 Gary Says:

imho, murdoch isn't endorsing an particular individual (hillary or giuliani or romney, etc). murdoch is endorsing a certain political archetype (ie, neoliberal/neoconservative, wargasmic, "free" trade, etc.). of which both giuliani and hillary fit.

Of course Murdoch wants Rudy to get the GOP nomination. He's been in bed with Hillary for awhile now and he knows she'll beat the shit out of Rudy in a general election.

I smell lawsuits coming the way of NewsCorp/RMudock/Giuliani's way.

LOL

Would she make these kind of accusations without proof? I don't think so...

Judith Regan deserves as much national media coverage as Kathleen Willey...ZERO.

Katie Couric says that I don't really care about Kerik, so that's that. More waterskiing squirrels!

Whatever, I think she's hot !!!!!

full disclosure, I have'nt had any in a while...

I wouldn't count on the smoking guns against News Corp. being disclosed here. A more likely scenario is one similar to the Bill O'Reilly/Andrea Mackris sexual harrassment scandal. Look for News Corp. to pay Regan a hefty settlement in return for her silence.

"Judith Regan will say and do anything to damage former lover Bernie Kerik and the CEO who fired her ass for trying to publish the OJ book. Regan is a cougar.

"Judith Regan is a slut but she’s hot. Still, I hope this has legs. Unfortunately, the major cable networks won’t cover it but will do 24/7 news coverage of the OJ trial."

Please! Can 'liberal minded' commenters please resist the temptation to downgrade a woman they dislike by engaging in sexually loaded hyperbole? Its just disgusting and reflective of the general sexism that many women must deal with on a daily basis. It is disappointing that frequently, in a place where I feel I have allies, I find the same sexist asshat bullies lurking.

Also, I have read the entire Regan complaint and despite whatever political misgivings one may have about her, the details of her complaints outline a company that engaged in horrific slander and abuse in order to protect the political interests Murdoch and Co. Regan was a very successful business woman that Newscorp quickly decided to dispose of when having her around became a threat to their objectives. Their tactic of using the underlying existing social prejudice against powerful and successful women was successful as it often is against women. As she details in her complaint, the OJ book was not entirely her idea, but was presented to her and given a complete go ahead from the entire Newscorp team, including Murdoch. I don't have trouble believing this as no competent news organization is going to allow anyone to make such huge decisions without at least their perfunctory approval. They saw it as a money maker, then once they dispensed with Regan, published again anyway and it has indeed been a money maker, with no apologies from Murdoch and Co.

They engaged in a slander campaign and people have willingly gobbled it up because the public loves nothing more than to hate a woman.

This bothers me more than anything else. That, like so many women who advance and are successful in business, a company need merely play the slut/nut card and regardless of the truth, the woman is immediately discredited.

In fact, the right is attempting a similar attack on Clinton by attacking her decision making capacity as a woman ("do you think she can lead the free world in a time of war?"), belittling her based on the old quality/conformity of her femininity/bitch dichotomy ("would you allow her to watch your kids?"), using stereotypes that mean absolutely nothing save for their ability to build on misogynistic stereotypes (focusing on her cleavage, her clothes (too sexy?, too dowdy?), her laugh (is that a cackle?), portraying her as a conniving bitch, calling her repeatedly "hillary" while other candidates are referred to by their last names....

on and on.

Frankly, I hope that Regan's legal efforts at redress are successful and at least more people get an opportunity to see the sickening, male dominated, bigoted and dangerous monster that Murdoch's corporation is. I doubt it. My expectation is that the case will be dismissed and Regan will be summarily destroyed and Kerik will get a pundit position with Fox News next year and be hailed as such a "smart" opinionator.

You notice how the media is now attempting to change the name of the Media the human vampire of a woman, who once represented these same Lie's and distortions of truth that she is now calling into question? She's now pissed off herself because the same ass hole's she worked for to screw the American people out of the truth we deserve, has now screwed her stupid ass. What goes around, eventually comes around.

By the way Rupert Murdock the most disgusting swine to ever come across a dollar bill and oh by the way, the very same bastard that is financing both Senator Clinton's and Rudy Julianne (or what ever), Presidential campaigns. This bastard intends to make out on ether one of these hand picked candidates.

This is really some sickening shit to just be hitting the news presses, so long after the events , but this is the reason they ass holds refuse to allow any kind of truth in our media. They plan to put a Clinton or a Julianne into our system that will continue to allow this kind of crap and they will have no choice because they both are grabbing his filthy money with both hands.

These people make me want to through up

It's only hypocrisy if liberals do it. Just ask the MSM bobbleheads.

Kinda like "socialism": It's only "socialism" if it benefits the american middle-class and poor, instead of going exclusively to the richest 2%.

-------WHAT A F(*&()ING BEATABLE LOSER

--------------BUT WIN OR LOSE WE GET A SKIRT IN THE OVAL OFFICE

Judith Regan published both of Rush Limbaugh's runaway bestellers, 'See, I told You So' and 'The Way Things Ought to Be'. Regan deserves damnation to the Pit of Hell for these two crimes against humanity,

Here's a Question: IF Regan admits she LIED TO THE FEDS' INVESTIGATORS - she has now confessed to doing so in her own court filing, right? Didn't she just set herself up with having charges made against her by the federal agencies involved in the Investigation ie: withholding evidence and lying to Federal investigators (IRS and FBI)

The Regan court filing in itself is confessing she NOT ONLY LIED TO FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS, SHE HID EVIDENCE FROM THEM, the same evidence her attorney is citing in the filed complaint against New Corp.

Is it possible the FEDS investigating know she lied and now she's scrambling for the bucks via this law suit to cover her butt? OR -- did she just set herself up to have charges of withholding evidence and lying to federal investigators in a big stupid move with her court filing confessing to doing so?

I think the FCC might need to address such a blatant usage of the public airwaves (and trust) to promote a specific political candidate, don’t you

Umm, I'm not sure how 'public' cable news is, but I'm pretty sure the FCC is limited on what they can/can't enforce on there.
