Ailes v. Huffington

 Slam, Bam, Thank you Ma'am


Guesting on the Roundtable on ABC News’ Sunday Morning Talk Show This Week (video from ABC below), Fox News President Roger Ailes defended Glenn Beck from an attack by Huffington Post co-founder Arianna Huffington.

Here is a transcript of a portion of that segment:

HUFFINGTON: Well, Roger, it’s not a question of picking a fight. And aren’t you concerned about the language that Glenn Beck is using, which is, after all, inciting the American people? There is a lot of suffering out there, as you know, and when he talks about people being slaughtered, about who is going to be the next in the killing spree…

AILES: Well, he was talking about Hitler and Stalin slaughtering people. So I think he was probably accurate. Also, I’m a little….

HUFFINGTON: No, no, he was talking about this administration [Emphasis added].

AILES: I don’t — I think he speaks English. I don’t know, but I mean, I don’t misinterpret any of his words.

Ailes is so Huffington's superior.

Beck definitely brings out the best in Zsa Zsa Gabors' Bastard stepchild doesn't he?

There was a huge profile piece on him from a paper recently (I might have been linked to it from here) and I read it from start to finish. Incredibly interesting. He's out there with what he believes instead of wrapping it in 'neutrality', and has done incredibly well with it.

And you know he's powerful, when he can threaten to quit if his network is interfered with, and Granddaddy Murdoch isn't willing to axe him.

Didn't she make her money by marrying a gay. right-wing millionaire and acting as his beard when he wanted to run for public office? There's a word for that!
