Jacob Weisberg is vexed and righteous in his hatred of Fox News. It's a "propaganda" machine pretending to be a news outlet.
Blah blah blah. You know the argument. What's new is that he thinks liberal journalists shouldn't appear on the network either. That'll show 'em!
What is hilarious is that Weisberg wrote this for Newsweek, which has relaunched itself, in the words of Andrew Ferguson, as a "liberal opinion magazine written by liberals who don't want to admit they're liberals."
The new Newsweek is everything Weisberg accuses Fox of being, just far more smug and dishonest about it (the old Newsweek was no great shakes, either).
But I don't think there's any need to call for a boycott of it; consumers are doing exactly that already.
