Charles Krauthammer was honored Tuesday with the Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism, given annually by News Corp in honor of former New York Post editorial writer Eric Breindel. In his acceptance speech, Krauthammer praised Fox News for creating an "alternate reality" on TV: I said some years ago that the genius of Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes was to have discovered a niche market in American broadcasting -- half the American people. The reason Fox News has thrived and grown is because it offers a vibrant and honest alternative to those who could not abide yet another day of the news delivered to them beneath layer after layer of often undisguised liberalism. What Fox did is not just create a venue for alternative opinion. It created an alternate reality.

like watching a talking iguana... repellent and fascinating, what forces created a mindset so sneeringly, icily sure of its lack of any need for intellectual humility.

to think he's a psychiatrist!
I can only hope that he confines his damage to his columns and is not in practice. As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
