Fox News CEO Aims To Challenge Obama "Until The Last Shot Is Fired."
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-foxnews6-2009mar06,0,5964042,full.story

Reporting from New York -- Before Glenn Beck started his new show on Fox News in January, he sat down with Roger Ailes, the network's chief executive, to make sure they were on the same page.

"I wanted to meet with Roger and tell him, 'You may not want to put me on the air. I believe we are in dire trouble, and I will never shut up,' " said the conservative radio host.

But before Beck could say anything, Ailes shared a message of his own: The country faced tough times, he said, and Fox News was one of the only news outlets willing to challenge the new administration.

"I see this as the Alamo," Ailes said, according to Beck. "If I just had somebody who was willing to sit on the other side of the camera until the last shot is fired, we'd be fine."

4. Ailes really knows his history...
The Texans lost at the Alamo. I guess the D's will have San Jacinto...complete destruction of "el Supremo", in less than half an hour.

5. Obama and Gibbs should kick Fox out of the White House.
Take away their press passes. There is no constitutional right to a press pass. That is a privilege. Gibbs should instruct the Secret Service to confiscate the Fox White House correspondent's press passes and then "escort" him out of the building.

10. A better man is not afraid of his critics.....
.... that sounds like some kind of crap that * would do. Barack is not so high and holy that no one is allowed to say anything against him, even when they're wrong.

Fox will be there during all of this term .... and they will be there for the NEXT one. They'll be there until Obama has made his last shot. ;)

13. The FBI should be alerted to investigate Ailes, a former RNC chairman.
