Naked Launch: Fox News Architect Dan Cooper Tells All
Rupert Murdoch hired Roger Ailes to brainwash America into thinking right-wing ideology is actually the political center. And he did. And, I'm ashamed to tell you, I helped him. I made a lot of money that year: 1996. I owned and loved living in an elegant cooperative apartment building on Park Avenue in Manhattan, just a few blocks from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim. The hallways were floored with inlaid marble. You placed your garbage in custom designed mahogany chests outside your front door. The doormen called me mister. I was a Democrat. Meaning I was so important to right-wing News Corporation that I was given a piece of what they called "the heavy lifting" on a project of extraordinary importance to Rupert Murdoch — a key role in conceiving and building out the Fox News Channel.
Anderton: “The Strength to Care”
This month we mourned the death of Sir Ed Hillary. He was a national hero, and he is rightly claimed as an inspiration by all New Zealanders. I personally find inspiration in the way he lived his life. I find inspiration also in the commitment he made to a fairer, more caring New Zealand. I find inspiration in both his public and political commitment. Many obituaries overlooked his staunch views. He had a fierce and proud commitment to fairness and justice. He was a prominent member of Citizens for Rowling. He might have been the first to climb Everest but his life was more about working co-operatively than it was ever about competition. He was the embodiment of a strong and caring New Zealand. .
