During a long and colorful career, Roger Ailes has dug ditches, advised Richard Nixon on his 1968 presidential campaign, produced off-Broadway shows -- and started cable networks, notably Fox News Channel.
*snip*
Mr. Ailes, 67 years old, runs his TV empire with combativeness and guile, and is secretive about his plans for the business channel.
*snip*
It took Fox News four years to surpass CNN's ratings, and Fox Business is starting at a similar disadvantage. Now, Mr. Ailes is taking on General Electric Co.'s CNBC, a network that for now, will reach three times as many homes as the start-up business network. But it's a rival he knows well, because he served as the president of the channel he now must knock down.
*snip*
News Corp., Fox's parent, has agreed to buy Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal, and has said it wants to make use of the newspaper's journalists on the business network. However, it will be hampered by an existing content-sharing arrangement between the Journal and CNBC that contractually runs through 2012.

....I will call a lot of audibles at the line once the play starts. I will not stand around the sidelines with a gamebook and a set of plays that I'll stick to. I'll change many things in the first year, I'm sure.
WSJ: What specific things has CNBC done in anticipation of Fox Business?
Mr. Ailes: The first thing they did was to say, "Well, Ailes seems to be patriotic, so we'll name it 'America's Business Network' and take that away from Ailes."... They've embraced capitalism suddenly... .

Now why don’t they get Harris Falkner a show?
I think they'll KICK BUTT!
Imagine how they'll dissect the effects on business and the economy of the lib proposals for taxes, fake fairness doctrine, congressional earmarks, health care, etc.
Alexis Glick is GORGEOUS! Where has she worked on air?
I bet my cable network won't carry it ..... darn DARN DARN!
Did he do her as a blond or brunette? :)
CNBC will be Road kill.
lol!
Wow...who is that?
Just watch. FOX will find the biggest titties they can find. Redhead ones are just fine with me.

Ailes is always worth the read.
.
Mr. AILES has reminded us on National TV that someone in Iran has recently publically stated that:
“It’s now time for the world to start imagining a world without an America in it”..!!!
Mr. AILES knows that in order to win in war, you must first know your enemy.
Mr. AILES = CLARITY

Reminds me of some weather lady CNN had YEARS ago.
IIRC, one weekend she was on, she might as well have been doing
“The Weather and Grand Tetons” report.
The next weekend and the few other times that I saw her, she had
a “business suit” attire that considerably obscured the view.
PING~~!

Roger Ailes Says Greenspan took cheap shot at Bush
“That’s the cheapest shot in the world. You cannot get an advance, and you can’t sell a book because the publishers are all people who hate Bush and hate Republicans.”

“Reader Privacy Advocates Applaud Introduction of NSL Reform Act
September 25, 2007
The Campaign for Reader Privacy, a coalition of organizations representing librarians, booksellers, publishers, and authors, cheered the introduction today of legislation to safeguard the privacy of ordinary Americans and curb the FBIs abuse of the National Security Letter power granted under the USA Patriot Act. “
Take a Pepto ..;)
Yeah-I saw Maria Bartiromo on the floor of the NYSE one morning and her “headlights were on bright” if you get my drift. Cut away (Band-Aids do wonders for that sort of thing), and then back a few moments later, the “problem” was gone.
“I think the MoneyHoney is losing her luster. I
cant stand her shrieking voice. I have no doubt
Ailes will provide ample competition .. ;)”
Besides her Hilliarly type of shrieking, she is an unabashed lib.
I stopped watching her when she and one of her liberal mutual fund buddies started to trash GW’s tax plans re dividends other nice things for us.
My wife stopped before due to her motor mouth, shrieks and doing her hair in an a GE Clothes dryer.
