My Five Minutes with Fox
September 12th, 2008 · No Comments · Media, Politics
The TV in the Dunkin’ Donuts next door is tuned to Fox News. Always. The cashiers selling cigarettes and lottery tickets are usually watching NESN, but for the caffeine-addled masses, it’s Fox and Friends or nothing.

They’ve eagerly told the press that dozens of “prominent Democrats and Independents” have already joined the fight. One of these prominent Dems is a dude by the name of Icky Frye. He once ran [...]

Two observations: One day later, the Times’s John McCain maybe straight-talked his way into my pants story is the most blogged item on the paper’s website.
