Fair and slightly inebriated: Inside Fox News’ 15th anniversary party
Yahoo News/The Cutline ^ | 9-22-11 | Dylan Stableford

Posted on 09/26/2011 1:16:29 PM PDT by STARWISE

Rupert Murdoch wasn't in attendance at Fox News' 15th anniversary party at Chelsea Piers in New York on Wednesday night for Roger Ailes' speech.

*snip*

"I begged him not to because I've seen you drink," Ailes joked. "And, frankly, it's a nightmare."

No matter. Ailes, the founder and chief executive of Fox News was this party's real star. Not Bill O'Reilly, who was also in attendance, but didn't speak.

*snip*

Murdoch aside, the biggest star not in attendance was Fox News contributor Sarah Palin, who continues to tease the electorate, insisting she has not made up her mind on a 2012 presidential run. And if she does run? "She's out," Ailes told The Cutline after his speech. "Done, immediately."

He added: "We'd cover [her] like we would any other candidate--fair and balanced."

*snip*

He called Fox News' current collection of talking heads "the strongest lineup in cable history" while dissing the revolving doors at his cable competitors. "They have collectively changed it 63 times," Ailes said of the lineup at CNN and MSNBC. "It's sad."

I don’t care if Fox News isn’t 100% conservative. At least they give us a voice.

Thank God there is FreeRepublic also. I hadn't realized Fox News started the same year as FreeRepublic.

Happy 15 yrs to both.

They promised old and new FNC stars would lbe showcased on F & F. Where is E. D. Hill? No mention of her, as near as I could tell. She left regular brodcasts to do “special reports” and hasn’t been heard of since.

BJ Toon had that effect on conservatives — feeling like you need a voice.

I can’t imagine what I’d do without either.

Although I am a bigger fan of FR, to be honest.

I like Greta and Cavuto’s show. Not wild about Ted Baxter any more. Comes over like a know it all blow hard. Red Eye is fun to watch also. I definitely have to turn it off when Shemp comes on.

Really. It is against my principles to watch CNN. Are you sure you are not talking about Kieran Chetry?

The last I heard about her is that she wanted to get up later in the morning (because of the 8 children) and she took a more flexible assignment. Then Poof! She was gone.

E. D. Hill
Hill is liberal, from what I hear so, if I don’t hear anything from her that’s a good thing - her and geraldo.

CNN Reformats ‘Parker Spitzer’ Without Kathleen Parker

###

Effective Monday, the program will be renamed “In The Arena.” Several people will join Mr. Spitzer in the aforementioned arena, including E.D. Hill and Will Cain and “others within and outside the CNN family,” the executive in charge of CNN/U.S., Ken Jautz, said in a memorandum Friday afternoon.

Look on the bright side, at least she can't fall down and hurt herself.

C’mon guys, we all know that teasing makes a hot woman even hotter! Admit it.

I think it’s absolutely delicious.
