I want to see all the dirty laundry aired... It sounds like Josh Howard was made into the scapegoat, and was probably innocent by most people's standards.

Please pass the popcorn.

"I so hope this turns into a bloodbath."


my thoughts exactly........I hope they all go down in the biggest exposed meltdown in media history.......I always thought that these three were not nearly as guilty as Rather and especially the News President, Andrew Hayward who is the guiltiest of all

Remember when Drudge used to actually break news, instead of merely posting ads for the news some other publication is going to break in a few hours?

The Left Stream Media is turning on itself! I love it.
