his top political cronies have waged a war for years. for years. they have waged a war on fox news. they have tried to tell the american people this is not a legitimate news organization. that it s pretty much a wholly owned subsidiary of the republican national party. i don t have any smoking gun memos, but i don t think it s some tremendous leap to say that they went after james rosen because he works at fox in a way that they would have never gone after him if his name were brian williams. not that brian williams will ever i couldn t uncover ag like that. the media hasn t played that angle up to the extent that i think it s a legitimate story bell bill all right, bernie, thanks as always. krauthammer on deck. what happens next with libya on the irs and snooping on reporter s mess.
