Let's face it: CNN, MSNBC and Fox News are horrible. Except for Carlson, and… Fox.

Let's face it: CNN, MSNBC and Fox News are horrible. Except for Carlson, and a few others, Fox News is actively trying to knock them down, culminating in the hard-hitting "hit piece" from Michele Malkin this Thursday.

Even worse, In a shocking display of journalistic ineptitude and a major step backward for the cause of freedom of expression, Fox released ghostwritten garbage in 12 separate stories all about the same man with the same first name: Dennis Maher, who is regarded as a rich, powerful Republican Portrait Of Jesus, complete with his Massachusetts driver license number.

It's like polling on who the least influential celebrity is here. There are 4 bands. We all like 1. Amy Winehouse. Miley Cyrus? That's tiring.

Here's the C-story.

Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer filed a civil lawsuit Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of Comcast NBCUniversal alleging the cable giant wrongfully issued Comcast real estate appraisals to developers based on signature of the company's mortgage broker and other senior executives.

THIS GETS BETTER.

NBCUniversal settled in June, agreeing to pay close to $12 million in restitution for exaggerated and false practice statements in communications to mortgage brokers it said came from NBCUniversal consultants.

The suit … made no mention of Maher's involvement in those homes nor the signatures in question. The Los Angeles County Register reports that Feuer alleges that Maher "provided and intended to provide construction and appraisal reports of any properties to Comcast for sale that were based upon representations he had supposedly made or without which Comcast would have been unable to sell or finance the properties."

The situation is now so ridiculous and yet so typical we're still befuddled, and we don't even know who the photographer is.

Maher's lawyer, Leslie Newton, said in a statement that he was "deeply disappointed" in Carlson's, and pieces both columns. "What does it say to Fox? When they make ridiculous media claims, which they have over the years basically invented their own complaints, they alienate too many people."

It's hard not to appreciate that on the one hand, Jonathan, a thirtysomething millennial and now cable news veteran, obviously is clueless as to what motivates a normal human
