Ailes: "The Assault On Chris Wallace Is An Assault On All Journalists"

Oh, this is good for big ol' laugh. These people are postively delusional.



Ailes: "The Assault On Chris Wallace Is An Assault On All Journalists"

The AP reports: "Fox News chief Roger Ailes says former President Clinton's response to Chris Wallace's question about going after Osama bin Laden represents 'an assault on all journalists.'"

He said: "If you can't sit there and answer a question from a professional, mild-mannered, respectful reporter like Chris Wallace, then the hatred for journalists is showing. All journalists need to raise their eyebrows and say, 'hold on a second.'"

More: "They're out there saying (Wallace) was savage, he sandbagged (Clinton), he was taking orders on the question. Chris Wallace has never taken orders on questions in his life. There's never been a discussion of that. I frankly think the assault on Chris Wallace is an assault on all journalists."

3. They are whining like a bunch of babies who didn't get their way.
They are clearly surprised that people agree with Clinton, don't ya think?

Makes me laugh at them.

2. Scheisskopf: "The Fat on Roger Ailes..."
"Is enough to feed a family of six for a year and still have enough left over to render and grease your axles with".

Can you tell I deeply respect the man? I do.

Really.

No, Really.

5. And ironically, Fox News itself is an assault on journalism!

That's what makes what Ailes says so damn weird.

4. Faux News "journalists" are far from that to say the least
Journalists, they are not. They are as much of a journalist as is Rushbo, Savage, Ingraham, and the rest of the right wing rabid entertainers hoping to cash in on the stupidity of their listeners.

8. Exactly.
Like Fox News is in a place to defend journalism. Too funny.

They really are in pretend-land over there, aren't they?

6. Don't flatter yourself, Roger
No "assault" on FoxNews could possibly be an assault on journalists. No journalist works there.

10. Where's the outrage when every single day of his presidency, Chimpy..
..has assailed, belittled, beleaguered and bullied the journalists assigned to cover his White House? Where's the outrage for that, Roger?
When respectful - albeit often acquiescent - journalists ask Chimpy questions he'd rather not answer, and he snarks back a non-answer chased down with a snippy insult of their profession....then Roger, where is the outrage?

12. The people on teevee are hardly journalists, they're ACTORS pretending
that their corporate comingled "opinions" are real and relevent, when in fact the vomit they spew is nothing more than scripted propoganda.

16. What a bunch of little weasels...they're like little kids. "The Big Dog
yelled at our friend...we have to get even!!"

How can they call themselves journalists? How can the word "News" be attached to the propoganda and bullshit they produce??

If your little hatchet man can't stand the heat...keep him out of the fucking kitchen.

17. They have gone after the intellectuals and the teachers, and
they're going after the journalists.

Gee.

20. Never let the facts
get in the way of an interview Chris..

I swear that Wallace shrank to the size of a P.T.Barnum midget during PRESIDENT Clinton's informational exercise, the incredible shrinking man :)

Said Ailes to Wallace, "You look like a baby.. GET IN MA BELLY, GET IN MA BELLY!!"

Fat Bastard. No offense to overweight people intended, I'm talking about what's between his ears...

22. Ailes: the guy who worked with Lee Atwater on the Willie Horton attack ad.
And that pretty much spells out his character. :puke:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Horton
<snip>
Republicans would pick up the Horton issue after Dukakis clinched the nomination. In June of 1988, Republican candidate George H.W. Bush seized on the Horton case, bringing it up repeatedly in campaign speeches. Bush's campaign manager, Lee Atwater, bragged that "by the time this election is over, Willie Horton will be a household name." Media consultant Roger Ailes was reported to remark "the only question is whether we depict Willie Horton with a knife in his hand or without it."

26. "Waaaaaaaaaaaa" Chris Wallace behaved like a media whore.
He serviced the propaganda producers of "The Path to 9/11", an assault on historical truth...And he's called a "journalist"? He should be ashamed, unless he's just plain stupid.

Wallace played his hand, and he had his balls handed him.

Good job, Commander-in-Chief Clinton!

America thanks ye the information you provided and your commanding defense of the truth!

27. Wallace respectful?
My shiny white ass.

I've never seen an ex-President treated less respectfully by a journalist. Wallace went into that interview with an agenda and thought he'd be playing "gotcha". He set out to get Clinton and didn't know how to deal with it when it didn't happen.

"Respectful" he wasn't.
