Roger Ailes promises to make Fox News less right-wing
By Jeff MillsSeptember 27th, 2011, 12:45 pmComments (40)
In a new interview with Newsweek, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, known as "The Chairman" by fierce loyalists, talks about how he has put the network on a "course correction," and subtly repositioned Fox News over the last year. This January, the channel toned down its rhetoric, as instructed by Ailes, following the January shooting of Gabby Giffords.
Ailes has always taken a firm hand in shaping Fox's editorial bent. Glenn Beck, who was originally hired by Ailes with the directive to take it to the White House, became too overzealous, and had to be jettisoned because, as Ailes says, he "became a bit of a branding issue for us." Fox has also slowly tiptoed back from its association with Sarah Palin. At the same time, when anchor Shepard Smith says something less than right-wing (like when he stated that the U.S. government was lying about its involvement in certain Middle East conflicts, or when he said the killing of Osama bin Laden was "illegal"), Ailes will push back. (As he tells Newsweek, "Every once in a while Shep Smith gets out there where the buses don't run and we have a 'friendly talk.'")
The June 9 issue of Rolling Stone featured a story called "How Roger Ailes Built the Fox News Fear Factory," which examined Ailes' background and early career. It was while working for Richard Nixon that Ailes "first experimented with blurring the distinction between journalism and politics." He told the Washington Post in 1972, "I know certain techniques, such as a press release that looks like a newscast. So you use it because you want your man to win."
I think the course correction is a smart move by Ailes, not only politically, but also commercially. Expanding his brand makes sense, when you consider that the median age of Fox News viewers is sixty-five, and the percentage of African-American viewers is somewhere around 1.38 percent. But expect that course to be corrected only so far. In regards to fighting the Obama administration, Ailes has said, "I see this as the Alamo."

Why is this on hooksexup.com? There are plenty of websites that focus on politics. I don't like Fox News in the slightest, in fact I think they are evil, but c'mon.
We cover television, and this is about how a television network reports the news.
that in and of itself doesn't make it interesting or a good match for this site.
Yeah, I hate how Hooksexup forces us to read these articles, oh wait.

We're going to believe Goebbels? Really?
I guess he is tired of being the #1 cable news channel. Going left editorially will definitely fix that.
Why doesn't he just turn FOX into an all- "World's Strongest Man" reruns network? That'd be cool.
Wait, Fox news was right leaning?
Naaaaawwwww...
I'll bet the "friendly talk" sounded amazingly like Arthur Jensen (Ned Beatty) reading Howard Beale (Peter Finch) the riot act in "Network".
"You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it! Is that clear?".
If you have never watched the movie, go get it tonight - you'll be glad.

I found two ladies who told me they were doing a paper on refugees, so I led them over to the two main activists (I had exchanged emails with the activists for a couple of years, but had only met them in person minutes earlier).
I walked up, tapped both of the leaders on the arm and said, "Excuse me, but you two need to talk with these ladies

Like a thermostat, He set the tone, He set the temperature, He set the pace for humanity to walk in.

The only reason the earth isn't consumed in sin and totally self destructed is because of us. We are the only reason God doesn't spew the world out of His mouth and send fire down on the whole earth
. Throughout its history, from the 6th century BC to 5th century AD, Bihar has been the seat of major empires. Not to mention its heavy influence on the politics of modern India. Unfortunately, the rich and glorious history of Bihar is in complete contrast today from being the first democratic republic of the world to a lawless and ungovernable state. As India enters into the economic boom Bihar still stands aloof untouched. It was once the greatest seat of learning, Bihar has now the lowest literacy rate in India
