Reader fires back on Fox rhetoric

Larrry Rascoe's every word in his op-ed came straight from Fox Radio WHOP talking heads dogma word for word, loop to loop five days a week by Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity on 12:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. then 99.7 FM, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. with Mark Levin and Michael Savage-all day, which should be sued for worst slander, using vicious, nastiest ugly name calling of our current honorable president who I am very proud of.

And yet, that is exactly what has happened, with Arianna Huffington's announcement Thursday that she will step down as editor in chief of the Huffington Post coming on the heels of Roger Ailes's ouster from the chairmanship of Fox News .

‘Hillary’s America’ travels through time and finds Democratic Party to blame

Documentarian Dinesh D'Souza's analysis of the history of the Democratic Party and what he thinks are Hillary Clinton's true motivations is incurious to a fault and too incoherent for serious argument. Dinesh D'Souza picked a perfect time to release the documentary "Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party," coming out on the heels of the Republican National Convention, just as the GOP should be rallying around the goal of defeating presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
