Yes, IMHO, the Mainstream Press picks it's favorites and roots for them Slobberingly. Today it seems to be for Hillary and Jeb Bush. Hillary, to most of us, seems disgusting, and Jeb seems to have anti-Republican values. So on and on the press slobbers.
But the problem is that they have to slobber harder and harder every cycle because the public wearies quickly of it.
Hillary's email and foreign donation problems have become too visible but the press hasn't stopped slobbering over her. And more and more folks are getting disgusted with the press itself for doing so. It cannot be sustained.
As the country enters a presidential campaign season with dynastic implications, Ailes has a dilemma: How much oxygen does he give the fringe GOP candidates who could torment likely frontrunner Jeb Bush and potentially aid Hillary Clinton in the process. It's not a question he answers directly. "I just don't think I should weigh in on it, even in the press because people will think, 'Well, that's the way he's making the network go.' But it looks like Hillary is going to do whatever she wants," he says, "and the press is going to vote for her."
Asked if he thinks Ted Cruz, the intransigent Texas tea party candidate, has a chance of securing the GOP nomination, Ailes deflects: "Listen, we elected Warren G. Harding. Anybody has a chance. You don't know who you're going to be running against. If the other guy falls on his rear end, you could win."
GOOD article.
I like Roger Ailes.
HATE to see what happens to Fox News, when he retires.
"You can't be chasing these little balkanized groups of people around. It's just nuts. Do your programming. It should be American. We're Americans. It's a culture. We should defend that culture, and we should reinforce that culture."
Fox News has 19 liberals on the payroll.
You are setting up the end of Fox news by doing this. Liberals are like termites and will only destroy.
