Today I will only watch Fox News…

Filed in Uncategorized by on April 9, 2007

I read the below quote by the CEO of Fox News Roger Ailes.

“Any candidate for high office from either party who believes he can blacklist any news organization is making a terrible mistake about journalists,” 

“Pressure groups are forcing candidates to conclude that the best strategy for journalists is divide and conquer, to only appear on those networks and venues that give them favorable coverage,” Ailes said, adding that any candidate “who cannot answer direct, simple, even tough questions from any journalist runs a real risk of losing the voters.”

this guy is right! There is no room in politics for News Networks that are merely echo chambers for politicians. It is a sad day when politicians can just pick up the phone during a scandal and only appear on one network, only answer questions from one hosts. I for one applaud you Roger Ailes. You are a no nonsense type guy that this country needs. No more of this dividing politicdal tactics used by the liberal media. I am so happy to see that someone with your moxey is out there in the business. Rupert Murdoch has the right man on the job.

I salute you Fox News! BRAVO!

 UPDATE, we have been had, apparently Roger was only kidding….in that same address, Ailes joked about the similarity of Obama’s name with that of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden,  So much for the spirit of partisanship. 

 ”It’s true that Barack Obama is on the move. I don’t know if it’s true President Bush called [Pakistan President Pervez] Musharraf and said, ‘Why can’t we catch this guy?’ “

At least he didn’t call Obama a nappy headed ho, that would be rascist.

    Yeah, that’s why it came out in the Libby trial that the Veep likes to appear on Fox, only watches Fox, and turns to Fox when he needs a boost in the ratings for this tragic administration. ‘Cause FOX, afterall, is fair and balanced.

    Why would any self respecting Democrat appear on Cheaney’s private network?
