Folks, you can't make stuff like this up. Faux News, being what it is, for this guy is like a lateral move...

"...The second-in-command at the information ministry, who spent his days reading the reports the minders wrote about visiting foreign journalists, has been employed by Fox News."

1. No surprize here ~ Par for the course.

:shrug: What's one more propagandist among the masses?

2. more quoted material...

They are not the only apparatchiks deemed worthy of rehabilitation. Almost all of the bureaucrats at the information ministry have done very nicely for themselves since the war. The government minders who spent their days reporting to the intelligence services on foreign reporters or doing their best to obstruct their work have gone on to well-paid jobs - for the same foreign news organisations they once hounded.

The second-in-command at the information ministry, who spent his days reading the reports the minders wrote about visiting foreign journalists, has been employed by Fox News.

3. Day in and day out FOX told us how this man could not be believed....

....and now they've hired him? :shrug: Perfect! :evilgrin:

4. This was the guy who worked under him...

...think Bush* vs. Cheney and you've go it.

6. dang-nabbit!

If it was only the hilarious liar in the beret, I'd tune into his show in a New York minute. That guy has an international career in stand-up comedian if he only consigned himself to the right handlers. He needs to go on John Stewart or even Leno....He was the only bright spot in the awful awful war.
