FOX CEO Roger Ailes threatens President Obama?
Before Glenn Beck started his new show on Fox News in January, he sat down with Roger Ailes, the network’s chief executive, to make sure they were on the same page.
“I wanted to meet with Roger and tell him, ‘You may not want to put me on the air. I believe we are in dire trouble, and I will never shut up,’ ” said the conservative radio host.
But before Beck could say anything, Ailes shared a message of his own: The country faced tough times, he said, and Fox News was one of the only news outlets willing to challenge the new administration.
“I see this as the Alamo,” Ailes said, according to Beck. “If I just had somebody who was willing to sit on the other side of the camera until the last shot is fired, we’d be fine.”
That’s so damn violent!
Does he mean after this last shot is fired?
Does anyone else notice that Fox/Beck/Ailes were silent during the last 8 years of destruction under the Bush Presidency?
Does anyone have the photos of Ailes/Beck at parties with the guys making the $20 million dollars a year in the financial industry? You can tell by looking at Ailes that he’s living the rich life.
So hypocritical, Mr. Ailes, to NOW suddenly be the only ‘voice against the Administration’. Why did you silence critics during the Bush Administration by threatening them with the Patriot Act? Why did you glorify the financial rape of America?
You were silent and complicit in our downfall, Roger, don’t suddenly believe you are our saviour.
And do not threaten the President. Its illegal.
Thank you so much!
