    The One where Cal Thomas, Judith Miller and James Pinkington admit they are paid Hackensteins

    Picking on Fox News stopped being fun a long time ago. It's a right-wing propaganda station, period. Hell, books have been written on the subject.

    But I do admit to enjoying seeing when Fox News "journalists" so plainly admit that they are hacks and paid shills. Like in this off-camera moment from this weekends Fox Show "News Watch," which did handstands to avoid mentioning Rupert Murdoch and News Corps crimes in the UK:

     

    CAL THOMAS: Anybody want to bring up the subject we're not talking about today for the -- for the [online] streamers?

    JAMES PINKERTON: Sure. Go ahead, Cal!

    THOMAS: No, go ahead, Jim.

    [LAUGHTER]

    THOMAS: I'm not going to touch it.

    JUDY MILLER (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): With a ten foot [inaudible].

    Don't get me wrong, we all knew they were non-journalist hackensteins. It's just fun to watch them giggle while admitting it.
