Jonathan Alter, the Newsweek columnist, has a truly embarrassing item on the Huff Puff today whining that Roger Ailes didn’t like a column of his and was trying to get Alter in trouble over it. Gee, you’d think a Newsweek columnist might have a little more backbone than to get all ootsy-tootsy when he gets criticized, even if the criticism is unfair. Fox practices “intimidation journalism,” Alter says. That’s as opposed to Alter’s brand of journalism, which alternates between liberal piety and sneering obnoxiousness. Full disclosure: Yes, I am a Fox News Channel contributor. Boo! Scared you with my intimidation journalism!
