Who’s tweaking whom? I have come to believe that the nearly daily back and forth between the White House and Fox News is good for both sides. I have further come to believe it’s good for the political class in general. For one thing, the fight is deeply self-referential and true inside baseball ...

The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
Michael Wolff does his usual stuff on the Obama-Ailes dust-up. This is a pretty hilarious set-up on Ailes: Before getting to my relative affection for Ailes, let me note that he

offensive utterance. Run, Roger! Run! And who doesn't pine for the "relative affection" of Michael Wolff?
