The right can always count on conservative Howard Kurtz to spread their talking points, especially when it comes to conservative media. He is their protectorate against criticism and is unafraid to be their useful idiot. He is, in effect, their ‘cleaner’.
When Rolling Stone came out with a devastating piece on Fox News’ prez Roger Ailes recently, it didn’t take long for Kurtz to rise to the occasion by presenting a flattering homage to the man, complete with Ailes’ own timely denials about his peccadilloes.
One thing about the article of note: Ailes would like to hire Hillary Clinton. See, he’s fair and balanced after all. Thanks, Howard.
Note to Tina Brown: thanks for taking Kurtz off WaPo’s hands but what were you thinking?
