Firedoglake has a speculative piece that also has more than one shocking assertion. Most notable, the Fox "Brain Room."
http://firedoglake.com/2011/07...
But unlike virtually everybody else, because I had to design and build the Brain Room, I knew it also housed a counterintelligence and black ops office. So accessing phone records was easy pie."
That's a former employee, who was canned, so apply the necessary salt. Note this, though, presented as a routine matter.
Before the piece was published, on November 17, 1997, Cooper claims that his talent agent, Richard Leibner, told him he had received a call from Ailes, who identified Cooper as a source, and insisted that Leibner drop him as a client-or any client reels Leibner sent Fox would pile up in a corner and gather dust.
I know, we're long past being shocked by Fox. But that's a problem, because they are more shocking all the time. Here's a network head telling an outsider -- threatening an outsider's business, in fact -- if it occurred, it is hearsay here.
I'm not thrilled by the prospect of an investigation. It raises problematic First Amendment questions. But I hope there's a tell-all Fox book about these black ops, and if laws were broken ... well, that resolves the problematic question.
