Zell Miller was about the last of the breed.
Yep..must be election season. Soon the same ole tired playbook will emerge...Halliburton,Scaife,Carlise,Fox News,Koch,blahblahblah....LOL!!
Rolling stone = traitor weekly.
HEY! Where is the barf alert?!?!?!
What a pity. RS is a filthy rag. In truth Ailes is a very interesting man. It’s a shame there aren’t nice long pieces exploring his thinking. He says he’s going to write a book about how he does it at some point. I have his book “You Are the Message.”
Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes saw an opportunity to build a news network that appealed to a niche market.
Turns out that niche is half of the nation’s viewers.
The fact is people like Murdoch and Ailes knew there was a huge market for conservative ideas and representation in the American market. If they didn't exist, others would rapidly take their place. Conservatism doesn't exist because of Ailes, Murdoch, or Limbaugh. They exist thanks to conservatism. The lefties always put the cart before the horse.
Oh yeah! Several more on Palin!
Exactly so, and yet, Fox News still isn’t available in all the homes that cnn and that sewer msnbc reaches.

Tim Dickinson/Rolling Stone’s misleading, pro-illegal immigration propaganda
Tim Dickinson of Rolling Stone offers his list of the 10 worst Congressmen. As you might expect from that publication, it’s biased (9 of 10 are Republicans) and their complaints consist mainly of lightweight analysis and smears. Let’s take a look at their entry on Rep. Tom Tancredo. It includes a great deal of name-calling, and it starts with a quote from the Council for Conservative Citizens supporting him; the reader will note that the recommendation is not reciprocated and this is thus the logical fallacy of Guilt by Association. (RS readers: did Dickinson not know this argument was fallacious, or did he think that you wouldn’t know it was fallacious?)
Then:
Elected to the House in 1998, Tancredo has not only led the fight to deport every undocumented worker in America — a proposal that would cost at least $200 billion — but has called for halting all immigration, legal and otherwise. In one unforgettable move, Tancredo wanted to deport the family of an undocumented high school boy who was profiled in The Denver Post for his perfect grades.
* Tancredo doesn’t support the mass deportations that Wilkinson implies that he supports; he support attrition through enforcing our laws.
* The $200 billion figure refers to the Center for American Progress study “Deporting the Undocumented”. That study uses a highly-flawed methodology described at the link.
* The word “halting” might be misleading; Tancredo has called for a moratorium, not a permanent end to all immigration.
* And, there’s much more to the last sentence than Wilkinson lets on; for instance, the Denver Post collaborated with the Mexican government to run a profile of said high school student.
Rolling Stone readers are encouraged to get their news from a more accurate source.
Rolling Stone has always been a hardcore leftwing propaganda machine. As with ALL leftwing mouthpieces it doesn't like to be challenged. Especially not with old fashioned Americanism built on traditional values and beliefs.
Fox is far from perfect and while not a true conservative himself, Ailes knows what sells. With Fox News Ailes has reached the top of the cable/network news world. I'm glad Ailes has been successful building an alternative to the MSM outlets that mainly spew leftist-socialist trashtalk -— ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBC.
The cable news ratings speak for themselves.
I wonder what his nickname was in high school and college?
Could it have been, “The Dickster”, or “Timmie the Dickie”?
Right out of the Alinsky playbook...
“Fear Factory”? Do these pinhead liberals mean like ABCCBSNBCMSNBCPDS etc that tell people the Republicans are going to kill them and put them out on the street and make “Draconian cuts”, etc? Like that?
I forgot to add it!
I like and admire him. I would love to meet and have a nice conversation with Roger Ailes! I hope he writes his book.
True, but Fox News filled a void and Rush set a whole new industry on a massive growth spree. Sure, he was preceded by Bob Grant and others, but Rush is still number one.
