Fox News Executives Dispute Quote About Palin
new York Times ^ | May 23, 2011 | Jim Rutenberg

Posted on 05/23/2011 10:50:02 AM PDT by Al B.

[...]

In a statement to The New York Times, the Fox News Channel executive vice president of programming, Bill Shine, said:

“I know for a fact that Roger Ailes admires and respects Sarah Palin and thinks she is smart. He also believes many members of the left-wing media are extremely terrified and threatened by her. Despite a massive effort to destroy Sarah Palin, she is still on her feet and making a difference in the political world. As for the ‘Republican close to Ailes’ for which the incorrect Palin quote is attributed, when Roger figures out who that is, I guarantee you he or she will no longer be ‘close to Ailes.’ ”

If state-run media really believed that Sarah Palin was unelectable, they'd be begging the GOP to nominate her.

ineluctable

Like the press and the WH did with Pence and Huntsman? And thanking Romney for helping pass Obamacare?

I know a ‘Democrat close to the New York Times’ who said the New York Times is a “Sh_t hole to work for”!

"Some say" and "those close to" are favorite progressive dodges to cover up no sources.

How would they like:

"Some say those close to Obama are worried that his cocaine use will come back to haunt him."

Puff Ho is also spreading the phony story that the Jewish Defense League (a group started by Rabbi Meir Kahane, zt"l) supports the Messiah's speech calling for Israel to go back to the Auschwitz borders.

These are Alyinskyite dirty tricks and the cultural air is thick with them.

Others close to Obama say that his cocaine use is seriously affecting his judgement.

Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Jim De Mint, Marco Rubio, and Michelle Bachmann best represent what the GOP SHOULD be all about.

Unfortunately, the establishment GOP regulars are pushing Romney and Pawlenty right now. But only because Cristie and Daniels are not available.

Some say that Obama doesn't have a fricken' clue until that daily faxed 'to do' list arrives from Soros.

Some say that Jarrett, Moochelle and Mrs Robinson have resolved their differences and that each have agreed to be the president every third day.

Because the Liberdemosociacommumuslims spend so many artillery shells on this target I know that she is capable of overturning their World Order President called Barack.

Pence is the a great Conservative and the white house would not really want him.

That said, I'm voting for Sarah Palin, for sure! I will write in her name if I have to.

another Republican close to Ailes told me. “Roger is worried about the future of the country. He thinks the election of Obama is a disaster. He thinks Palin is an idiot. He thinks she’s stupid. He helped boost her up. People like Sarah Palin haven’t elevated the conservative movement.”

Now, remember this is New York Magazine. (By Gabriel Sherman)

Now, look at this whimpish weenee!

Gabriel Sherman

My name is Gabriel Sherman. I am a contributing editor at New York Magazine and a special correspondent for the New Republic. Previously, I was a staff writer at Conde Nast Portfolio. Prior to 2006, I was the media reporter at the New York Observer, where I reported extensively on the internal newsroom fights that roiled the New York Times, including the paper’s flawed coverage of Saddam Hussein’s Weapons of Mass Destruction and the decision to delay publishing its NSA wiretapping exclusive for more than a year. I reported extensively on Judith Miller’s fight with Times editors and reporters, and ultimately sat down for her first interview on the eve of her resignation from the paper.

I have served as a media commentator on CNN, MSNBC and National Public Radio, any my journalism has appeared in the New York Times, the Guardian, Slate, the Atlantic, Wired, Outside Magazine and National Geographic Adventure, among other publications. A competitive runner, I have run six marathons and I finished the 2003 New York City Marathon in 2:56:29. I have also run up the stairs of the Empire State Building in 13:26.
