Fox News' Roger Ailes Proves Fox is Neither Fair Nor Balanced!

(CNN) – (Far Right Extremist) Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes isn't holding back when it comes to his (Republican) opinion of President Obama, saying in a recent interview that he (falsely believes he) espouses a version of "socialism…too far left" even for some European countries. "The president has not been very successful," (extremist) Ailes opined to Howard Kurtz, the Washington Bureau Chief for the Daily Beast and a CNN contributor. (His negative opinion of the President's trip:) "He just got kicked from Mumbai to South Korea, and he came home and attacked Republicans for it. He had to be told by the French and the Germans that his socialism was too far left for them to deal with."

The comments constituted part of Ailes' argument that Fox News is (NOT) a fair and balanced news network that criticizes the president not because he is a Democrat but because the network merely reflects the fact that (in their opinion) Obama "just has a different belief system than most Americans." Meanwhile, Ailes added that it has always been his network's (Republican) policy to "be more direct" in challenging commander-in-chiefs, no matter their party affiliation.

He also opined) the rest of the news media is only now beginning to report accurately on the president. (Ailes also falsely suggested:) "He's had 3,000 press secretaries since he got into office." (For the record, Robert Gibbs has been Obama's only press secretary so far.) Ailes continued to rant: "He's making it harder for the press to make him look good. When the press falls in love, they fall in love hard. They're like teenagers in love. It's like the old Frankie Lymon song, 'Why Do Fools Fall in Love?'"

Ailes also came to former President George W. Bush's defense, saying Obama has relentlessly attacked the "poor guy." "This poor guy, sitting down on his ranch clearing brush, gained a lot of respect for keeping his mouth shut. I literally never heard an Obama speech that didn't blame Bush," he said.


Note: Roger Eugene Ailes (born May 15, 1940) is an American businessman and president of Fox News Channel and chairman of the Fox Television Stations Group. He was a media consultant for Republican presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush, as well as Rudy Giuliani’s first mayoral campaign in 1989.
