Oooooh



I'm just guessing here, but I don't think Ricks will be invited back to Fox News.

UPDATE 11/28:

A Fox News Channel (FNC) vice president has told the Hollywood Reporter that author Tom Ricks apologized privately for his comments on Monday that the network has been “operating as wing of the Republican Party.”

As though after watching that exchange you could possibly think Ricks would be apologetic, it wouldn't easy enough for someone to fact check? Geez, Fox.

Ricks denied ever making any such apology.


Further on the apology.

UPDATE: 11/29

Ricks tells the Washington Post's Melinda Henneberger that the moment wasn't planned, and he wasn't gunning for a gig with Fox News's arch-nemesis. “MSNBC invited me, but I said, ‘You’re just like Fox, but not as good at it,’" says Ricks. "They wrote back and said, ‘Thank you for your candor.’” We can't wait to hear what he says when CNN calls.
