Why does Roger Ailes talk about the "other side" if Fox is "fair and balanced?"

Seems Mr. Ailes has revealed his Freudian underwear.

1. Good catch!

funny how defensive the right is when they've done nothing wrong..

[Lucky Luciano]

2. Haha. I noticed that too! nt

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Me too.

But I figgered that since only one side has Truth, Justice, Jesus and the American Way behind it, it just wouldn't be fair and balanced to give the agents of Satan on the other side any credeice.

3. Excellent!

By his words, he is saying there is his side and the other side. The facts do not take sides.

5. "The facts do not take sides." Ailes might be surprised that anyone would expect Fox to deal in

facts. It is a foreign notion to him. Remember this guy cut his political teeth working for Richard Nixon.

6. This SHOULD be widely reported. Ailes should be grilled over it by Congressional Democrats, if not

in person then by a joint statement.

7. K&R.

This is it. Fox and the right are having to admit what they really do. The game is up.

Maybe within a couple of years, we will be able to have a normal, civil discourse in this country.

I think the entire country could make progress if Fox News changed its tune.

8. I dunno. Because the meaning of words is completely fungible over at Faux??

[SpiralHawk]

9. Excellent assessment of reality

Too bad the RepubliBaggers will not allow this FACT to register amidst their deranged paranoia-besotted brain cells.

[Still a Democrat]

10. He always falls back on this -

our news is fair and balanced, but our commentary is primarily conservative.

[Tsiyu]

11. You know, that's one of the best questions ever asked

How can there be "two sides" if Fox presents both sides?

Makes "Fair and Balanced" a big fat lie.

Very nice.

12. Excellent point. nt
