Fox Newser Accused of Dragging Cyclist Through Central Park

By GottaLaff

I'm not a Gawker reader, but this was passed on to me, and I couldn't resist:

In typical Fox News fashion, when we asked a Fox News writer how a Central Park cyclist ended up being dragged on the hood of his SUV for four blocks, he blamed the victim, calling the biker a "vigilante."

Brian Dooda, a Brooklyn film archivist, was riding his bike on East Dr. in Central Park at about 5 p.m. on Thursday when he says a grey SUV cut him off, nearly swiping his front tire. Angered, Dooda caught up with the car, which had "NYP" license plates designating its driver as a media representative, at the next red light. He positioned himself in front of the SUV and told the driver to slow down and observe the park's 25 m.p.h. speed limit.

For all the gory details, here's the account Dooda gave to the NYPD, posted on a cycling message board. Meanwhile, a fun little tidbit:

When the cops arrived and told Dooda that the "NYP" plate meant that the driver who nearly killed him was a journalist, Dooda told Gawker he joked: "I wonder if he's from Fox News, because he was such an asshole."

He was! [...]

No matter who started it, actually hitting someone with your car, and then hitting them again, and then dragging them on your hood for 200 feet, and then driving away can't be legal! Dooda, who was only slightly injured with some scrapes and bruises, filed a police report with the Central Park Precinct, and says a detective has been in touch. Broderick says he hasn't been contacted by the police, and an NYPD spokesperson couldn't immediately confirm that an investigation is underway.

Hit and run: Just Fox's style.

VIDEO-- Sarah Palin's wannabe filmmaker John Ziegler: "I'm just as much a journalist as Katie Couric"

If you are trying to remember who John Ziegler is, go here, here, and here. Warning: Memories of Ziegler may result in PTSD, but it's a chance you'll have to take. Hint: He's the one who went on Mr. Laffy's dating show... and lost. Now he's making a fool of himself again, and I'm guessing he's still dateless:

Human publicity stunt and all-around douchebag, John Ziegler, goes to USC and hilarity ensues as John squirms, giggles, and fails to understand the concept of private property while acting like the smirky semi-employed always-getting-fired asshole that he is.

VIDEO-- Chip Reid: "Democrats Raising Their Ugly Heads"

By GottaLaff

No media bias here. None. Nah:

And the rest of the press corps sort of laughed incredulously at Reid because a) it was idiotic, b) they knew that pretty soon, everyone would be talking about how "Chip Reid never mentioned how ugly some of the Republican heads are...

At the Daily White House Press Briefing CBS's Chip Reid starts a question with the following "Democrats Raising Their Ugly Heads"

Maybe Chip shouldn't have raised his ugly head, er, hand today. This one's all over the Blogosphere.

Joe Lieberman: Obama Off to 'very Good Start'

In Joe's addled brain I'm sure this all makes sense. Joe = Country, Obama saves Joe ergo Obama puts Country first.

"In my opinion, the choice could not be more clear: between one candidate, John McCain, who's had experience, been tested in war and tried in peace, another candidate who has not,'' Mr. Lieberman said. "Between one candidate, John McCain, who has always put the country first, worked across party lines to get things done, and one candidate who has not. Between one candidate who's a talker, and the other candidate who's the leader America needs as our next candidate.''

"Bruns of Steel": Nudie pix surface of Fox News' kiddie porn collector/news producer

By GottaLaff

Remember this post? Of course you do. Who could ever forget Fox News' extra special Tee Vee producer? Fox sure knows how to scout out professionals! Who wouldn't hire a kiddie porn collector?

Now Aaron Bruns can add this to his resume:

The super-sleuths at kenneth in the (212) and NY Mag just uncovered some nudie pictures of Aaron Bruns. [...]

When"Triple Threat Bruns" wasn't busy producing political coverage or trading kiddie porn over the Web, the multi-faceted Fox Newser was dabbling in soft-core porn. If you are truly disturbed, you can check out the NSFW pics of Aaron's Bruns of steel here.

Come to think of it, he's probably a step up from the typical Faux employee.
