The FOX News Memos 

Wonkette posted all the memos that were released by the maker of Outfoxed. A lot of people have commented on the bit about "not fall[ing] into the easy trap of mourning the loss of U.S. lives" which is a pretty incredible statement. I also thought following two excerpts were particularly worthy of scorn:

We have good perp walk video of Eric Rudolph which we should use. We should NOT assume that anyone who supported or helped Eric Rudolph is a racist. No one's in favor of murder or bombing of public places. But feelings in North Carolina may just be more complicated than the NY Times can conceive. Two style notes: Rudolph is charged with bombing an abortion clinic, not a "health clinic."

and

TUESDAY UPDATE: (With thanks to Michelle Novy in DC) SHEIKH YASSIN WAS NOT A "SPIRITUAL LEADER" OF HAMAS. HE WAS THE FOUNDER OF HAMAS, OR ITS IDEOLOGICAL LEADER.
