The Latest News

Roger Ailes (b. 1940) is president of Fox News. So it's all his fault (except when it's Rupert Murdoch's fault, of course).

He was also a media consultant for presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush. See, we told you it was his fault.

Even worse, he is also responsible for bringing Rush Limbaugh to television.[1]

To boot, he headed MSNBC's short-lived ancestor America's Talking.

Bryan Fischer claims that Ailes's “leadership style is exactly the style that Jesus taught,” and credits Ailes’s Jesus-like behavior for Fox’s success, summing it up with “the key to success in a capitalistic system is to do things Jesus’ way.”[2]

Ailes's Jesus-like behavior includes encouraging employees to lie under oath,[3] threats, paranoia, and harassment,[4] race-baiting,[5] as well as developing a vast variety of political dirty tricks,[6] in addition, of course, to running Fox News.[7]
