Fox's Roger Ailes: 'Every Other Network Has Given All Their Shows to Liberals. We Are the Balance'

"Every other network has given all their shows to liberals. We are the balance."

So said Roger Ailes in a profile written by the Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz Sunday which also included the Fox News chairman taking a shot at MSNBC's Joe Scarborough:

Ailes has a blunt rejoinder to those who say he runs a biased outfit: “Every other network has given all their shows to liberals. We are the balance.”

Ailes used a former Republican Congressman turned television host as an example of liberal dominance in the media:

Even MSNBC morning host Joe Scarborough, a former GOP congressman, “tacks to the center,” Ailes complains, and “doesn’t act like a conservative.”

Seems a metaphysical certitude most conservatives would agree with that statement.
