      Don't pay any attention to what I said the other day, that was recorded. Geesh, how dumb can a person be?

      Oh wait a minute, maybe it wasn't shown on Fox , so therefore it doesn't exist.

      This reminds me of something Harry Truman said about Tricky Dick Nixon, when Nixon was still a Congressman: "He's the only guy I know who can talk out of both sides of his mouth at the same time."

      Murdoch, you idiot. There is nothing racist or even racially divisive in suggesting that typical white people get scared when they encounter blacks on the street.

      I believe in freedom of speech but shouldn't there be an ethical
      standard to follow?

      To me this seems like a tempest in a test tube. The MMFA reporter asked a good question, but it looks like Murdoch just didn't hear the question correctly. As much as I dislike Murdoch, I think Keith is grasping at straws on this one.
