In some ways, Ailes actually enabled the spying, and now he's acting like this is all a big surprise?.

Flashback:

Behind the War Between White House and Fox

Ailes' "Course Correction"

Roger Ailes ‘thinks Palin is an idiot’

I wonder if he still thinks that Palin is stupid?

I think ailes is stupid... fired Brit Hume’s wife as News Director and crapped on Conservatives by slamming left and keeping an openly gay flamer as head anchor. Coddling old bill o’bloviator was another dumb move. Palin has been right all along and rupert and ailes only care about their success and getting along with the powers that be... until that got them injured and along with that... an attack on our First Amendment. Maybe they will wake up?

Well, Roger, how hard are you going to fight back? Are you going to reverse your move into ‘moderacy’ and give Conservatives their time in the sun, or are you going to stick with the rovian attacks on us even now that you know we were right all along?
Your words are hollow if they are not followed up by action. Are you brave enough to stand by your words?
WE are watching.

“We will not allow a climate of press intimidation, unseen since the McCarthy era...”

The Obama regime is on a political witch hunt for communists and communist sympathizers?

We will not allow a climate of press intimidation, unseen since the McCarthy era, to frighten any of us away from the truth.

He seems to contradict himself - we now know McCarthy was right - almost like he agrees with Zero's folks.....

Hey Ailes, enough of that “McCarthy” crap. Stop perpetuating a lie.

The administration’s attempt to intimidate Fox News and its employees will not succeed and their excuses will stand neither the test of law, the test of decency, nor the test of time.

(putting on my Clintonesque legalese parsing hat)

U.S. Constitution, Amendment 1: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The text says that CONGRESS shall make no law. Where does it say the Executive Branch can't?

You know they'll do it...

Ailes is just another “Amanda Bynes Dead Body Part”....

Why hasn’t Fox taken legal action?

Are they still so Obama Supporter....like they were when attacking Birthers...

Ailes is not a conservative, is just a liberal who hates taxes which would explain his attacks on Sarah, hiring homosexual activists and keeping drama queens and I seem to remember a certain owner of a media outlet bugging other peoples phones to get news in the UK

Ailes did not say Palin is an idiot. At least not in the link you posted.

As a general comment -— Why is the media focusing on the Fox wiretap? I realize this story is about Ailes. But what happened to the CNN wiretaps? That sort of faded away. Hmmm. It seems the backdrop of these stories should be that obama admin is targeting the press - CNN and Fox - and not be limited to Fox.

Ailes would have been wiser to invest in cryptography for his phone lines and emails. OpSec is critical to newsgathering in a liberal run world.

I guess it depends upon whether endorsing John McCain is smart....

“...unseen since the McCarthy era...”

Dear Mr. Ailes:

McCarthy was on OUR side.

We need a few hundred aggressive Jay Sekulow type lawyers that process lawsuits up the wazoo against this rogue government that it has to spend its time defending their positions.

I can’t help but chuckling at the left-promoting news organizations crying foul and feigning outrage. Time after time history hath shewn that as soon as their most fervent hopes become manifest - the leftist coup is achieved - they are the first marched to the wall and summarily dispatched.

I have no explanation for it. Sure, this is a warning sign, like the husband’s open-handed strikes becoming a fist for the first time. But they will never leave... the Media and the Left: till death do them part.

” UPDATE: John Coale, an advisor to Palin who, as Greta van Susteren’s husband, also knows the Fox News leadership, writes to rebut the claims of the unnamed Republican operative:

“I know both Roger and Sarah quite well, and nothing could be further from the truth than the unnamed ‘Republican’ who said Roger thinks Palin is an idiot,” Coale says.”

You need to finish reading before you post : )
