The wishing well…
The AP’s David Bauder writes about the FNC “wish well” comment…
Plainly, public relations is a contact sport at Fox News Channel _ with, as Fox PR chief Brian Lewis explains, a sense of mischief sprinkled in.
“Has there ever been a more disingenuous phrase in the corporate handbook, or the PR handbook, than `we wish him well’?” asked Lewis. “`Earnings have fallen in the last eight quarters and we wish Joe well as he leaves the company to pursue other interests.’ We know what they mean, so we just thought we’d have some fun and point out the hypocrisy of the term.”
Bauder goes on to list some of the people who have been bestowed the FNC “wish well” and talks about The big “O”…
…and I don’t mean O’Reilly…
Hahaha Lots of wish wells from FNC. Ah, It’s good to be #1.

FNC people are insecure, nasty, bitter, vengeful, spiteful people. If they really felt secure being on top, they could just sit there and enjoy it without having to spit down on all their competitors. The fact that they have to attack anyone who makes them feel threatened shows a lot about the moral character of the people who choose to work for such an enterprise.

Yep, I would feel ashamed to work for a “news operation” like that. And the attitude of the people that watch FNC are just like that. I wish them well when they sink to the bottom!
