Friends Push Fox's Ailes for 2012 President Run
http://www.politico.com/click/stories/0910/fox_head_could_make_run.html

Friends and associates are encouraging Fox News chief Roger Ailes to jump into the political arena for real by running for president in 2012, top sources tell POLITICO.

"Ailes knows how to frame an issue better than anybody, and that's what we need now," says one Ailes friend who is encouraging the Fox founder, chairman and CEO to seek the Republican nomination to run against President Barack Obama.

Ailes, 69, has an aggessive, winning personality that made Fox News a huge success — and a huge target for liberal critics.

Frank Luntz, the well-known Republican pollster, said Ailes could be a force if he makes the run.

"I have known Roger Ailes for 29 years," says Luntz. “No one knows how to win better than Roger."

Talk of an Ailes run, which informed sources said is based on more than mere speculation, could escalate the White House war with Fox war in wildly unpredictable – and fun – ways.


Yes because we want this to be the 'Face of America'

6. This is just bullshit to make Fox seem legitimate.........
Edited on Tue Oct-27-09 02:33 PM by LaPera
Fox is NOT news it's just republican propaganda as we ALL know, even Fox knows this, any thinking person knows this.

But like all evil controlling bullshit propaganda, Fox must lie and does so constantly, to disguise their real brainwashing intentions.

As Fox is scrambling to do now by going on the offensive and accusing others to change the story and hide the obvious facts...This is a favorite republican tactic...

Ignore the message, attack the messengers character and it usually always works, just ask Karl Rove.

I hope the fucker Ailes runs....not a chance in fucking hell this pig would ever be president - He'd be exposed for the hate greed of the republican party that he represents and pushes on Fox.

Ailes runs the Fox hate & propaganda machine from the background just like the pigman Limbaugh does manipulating the ignorant, uneducated, the uninformed that only they have the real truth and facts & plays on their ignorant hate....

That's what they are great at, convincing people their corporate elitist racist lies are the truth.

Ailes will NEVER run, he knows he won't. However, he & Fox will milk it if he could, put on this big charade to pretend that he will, to assist Fox news in pretending to look legit, again, which of course it's not...

And to get more attention for Fox, making it easier to trash Obama and the democrats.
