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.

Readers are encouraged to review the entire piece.

"The Good Wife"

Submitted by pockets64 on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 9:46am.

I watched 30 seconds of my wife's favorite drama: "The Good Wife." I had to quit at 30 seconds as my blood pressure was about to pop my head off. I'll spare you the blow-by-blow, but suffice it to say that it was painfully anti-Israeli and disgustingly sympathetic to Hamas.

I guess if you call spending

Submitted by Captain Repus on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 9:53am.

I guess if you call spending 3 hours a day five days a week leading a pack of democrat assassins sliming every republican and middle Americans 'tacking to the center' Ailes is correct.

Scarborough is nothing more than a typical hate-filled East coast liberal who, with the blonde dimwit growth attached to his right side brings the combined IQ of this show up to a level just below plant life.

Thank God these cement-dwelling morons seldom escape the New York sewer.

NYC is not a sewer. It's still the greatest city on the planet or have you forgotten? It has been hijacked, but it's no sewer. Careful with the poison spitting or someone might mistake you for a troll.

Maybe 'sewer' is the wrong

Submitted by Captain Repus on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 11:28am.

Maybe 'sewer' is the wrong descriptor. A city in which everyone lives stacked in cement crypts with the streets filled with garbage, anyone who wants to experience grass (the kind that you mow) has to scurry down a hole to a urin soaked rat infested transit system to get to Central Park, lets local dictators control how much salt they can consume, ban the use of a legal nicotine-based product, coddles illegal residents, charges the equivalent of the anual per-capita income in many countries just to drive across a bridge, perhaps a better descriptor for the city would be something like 'Sodom'.

Even with all the treasonous

Submitted by jessieH on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 9:57am.

Even with all the treasonous media, the liberals still can't beat us. And that's counting the gov't. funded PBS & NPR.

I have to agree with Roger

Submitted by marpel on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 10:07am.

I have to agree with Roger Ailes. I don't watch anything but Fox for my national news. I feel I'm getting a true picture of what is happening outside of San Antonio with that network. If I need to bring my BP up to stroke level, then I'd watch that hideous MSNBC or CNN (CNN spreads the most outlandish rumors, never getting confirmation before they air the nitty gritty).

Mr. Ailes said, "Every other

Submitted by Beukeboom on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 11:24am.

Mr. Ailes said, "Every other network has given all their shows to liberals."

Absolutely and unarguably true.

Yet the uber-libs in the MSM continue to deny this.

It's as if they feel if they deny the existance of gravity they won't fall down when they step off a cliff. That only works in Roadrunner cartoons.

And then only temporarily.

Fox News

Submitted by adamsmith on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 11:26am.

Is the only network not up Obamalinsky's backside. So much for the press guaranteeing the First Amendment and supporting a democracy. No wonder our beautiful Republic is being murdered, the press is killing us with all the lies. I really hope Fox will expose how Communistic all those in control really are. Glenn Beck was doing too good of a job exposing commies. Someone else needs to start showing the Commies for what and who they are......

Joe has to keep up his bias reporting or he may end up like Olberfool or Schultz, having to take an un-planned vacation. Whether or not he is a conservative, he has to act like a lib, to keep his job which is a shame. He can't convince me he has any conservative ideas now, or in the past.
