Ailes is going to take every hook that pulls more viewers to his network and more money into his pocket. Put yourself in his place, if you could manufacture a controversy that made you $10,000 by the time the sun sets tonight, wouldn’t you do it? Proportionally Ailes/FNC make much more than that! Trump gets free PR, Fox gets viewers = advertizing dollars.
Remember when Rush called whats-her-name a slut? We all understood that he laughed all the way to the bank despite the “boycott” because the only ones who pulled ads pulled them from local stations not from Rush’s network feed.
You gotta understand the rules if you want to enjoy the game. Trump and Ailes are both enjoying this, and Miss Megyn will be getting her biggest paychecks in years to come because of all the publicity she’s getting amongst people who’d never watch FNC otherwise.
