The drive-by's are so predictable.
Just gotta love their discomfiture and their pain.

"...150 attendees at a Television Critics Association’s gathering walked out..."

Sure saved a lot of public wailing and whining, didn't it? I hate to see grown-ups whine, wail and cry.

About two-thirds of the 150 attendees at a Television Critics Association’s gathering walked out of the room before Fox News Channel chairman and CEO Roger Ailes took the stage for a news conference.

What a bunch of spoiled little children.

LOL, but a liberal bias is a-okay with these fascists, right??? Amazing how such "tolerant and open-minded" people run in fear like rats deserting a ship when they might be forced to hear a differing viewpoint. Makes you think they're not so secure in their substanceless positions.

Can't completely blame them for leaving. They have to check in every hour or so to see if they still have jobs.

Several critics even openly voiced their scorn for what they view as Fox News’ conservative spin.

And almost certainly did not voice, openly or otherwise, any scorn for the leftist spin found on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC.

I suppose the MSM is showing their fair and balanced side by not listening to what the other side has to say. The MSM is very poor at even pretending to be fair and balanced.

Actually Fox News' ratings more than doubles its nearest competitor, CNN. Way to go Fox.

I still have the coffee cup they were sending out free to anyone who asked when they first got started. Sometimes I carry it into the local Starbucks just to raise eyebrows.

Those that walked out are most certainly feminists (demoncrats-liberials-leftists-girleymen)

If one hangs out a shingle that says "critic", you'd expect them to look "critically" at all media - not just the one that lines up with their political beliefs.

Yet another confirmation who the Dead Stream Media are.

As a progress indicator, Ailes should compare future walk out numbers to this one.

"Ailes has taken charge of news operations at the 35 broadcast stations that are owned and operated by Fox, and a critic asked him to vow that "you’re not planning to inject it with that same Fox attitude.”

The critic was clinging to the hope that Fox might not run successful radio stations in the pattern of the cable news station.

Carlin didn't see TV critics fleeing before Ailes' presentation
Romenesko Letters
Oregonian TV critic Peter Ames Carlin questions Glenn Garvin's observation about critics and Fox News chief Roger Ailes. "I have no idea what made him think that two-thirds of our colleagues left the room before the Fox News session with Roger Ailes. If some reporters left grumbling about FNC's politics they were a distinct minority. The room remained crowded, there were plenty of questions, hardly any of them were confrontational." || Read Garvin's response.

Snubbing Roger Ailes must be like riding a tiger...

But Ailes was unfazed – and enjoyed gloating.

OH! Is this video online somewhere?

Probably late for Iraq Prime Minister Maliki address to congress.
