AdAge usually doesn't get political but their review of MoveOn's attempt to stand between Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal is weirdly ferocious. What gives?

MoveOn, not content with beclowning itself by "boycotting" local Fox News advertisers, will try to bring down Rupert "Great Satan" Murdoch tomorrow with parody copies of the Wall Street Journal.

According to the release: "New Yorkers will take to the streets Wednesday at noon - handing out Parody Wall Street Journals at the company headquarters bearing actual Fox News headlines. The headlines demonstrate the type of unreliable, partisan information businesspeople can expect from the news pages of the Journal under Rupert Murdoch."
