What Are "Some People Saying" About Roger Ailes & The Fox Anchors?
Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 01:43 PM by David Zephyr
Roger Ailes and his Fox "News" group love to spread inuendo and rumors, as we all know with the fig leaf of cover of "some are people are saying", right? They did it to John Kerry and Howard Dean. They did it to Max Cleland. They did it to George Soros.

What have you heard that "some people are saying" about Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly and the anchors at Fox?

Since Fox is fixated on the DU and is giving the site free national exposure, maybe we should let their "anchors" know what you have heard that "some people are saying" about them, huh? Hopefully, their viewers might log in and learn something about the Fox and Friends that "some people are saying"...in a "fair and balanced way", of course.

So tell me, what have you heard "some people saying"?

2. yeah, the 'some say' is really getting old but at least it provides us
with a cue. I haven't heard what'some' are saying about Ailes et al, other than Franken taking shots at O'R with the phone sex tape contest.

4. Roger Ailes frequented callgirls in the 80s. Did he break his hooker habit
or is he still a great customer?

Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you.

6. Can't verify it, but I think I heard some people suggest
that Ailes left politics (officially) when he was about to be outed as a transvestite prostitute.

7. Ah, well, you came to the right person for THIS!
Some people are saying that Roger Ailes had a little (sniff sniff) habit (sniff sniff) in which he liked to snort a little blow from time to time and some people say it got so bad he almost checked into rehab a couple of times.

In fact, some people say he is STILL snorting coke.

Well some people say that Fox news is affilliated
with the Moonies - you know, like Armand Hammer? And Reynolds wrap?


What we've been hearing is that they are satancial cultists.

14. It's really a must-read, Fox Fans! Here's the intro >
O'Reilly Hit With Sex Harass Suit
Female Fox coworker details lewd behavior of cable TV star

OCTOBER 13--Hours after Bill O'Reilly accused her of a multimillion dollar shakedown attempt, a female Fox News producer fired back at the TV star today, filing a lawsuit claiming that he subjected her to repeated instances of sexual harassment and spoke often, and explicitly, to her about phone sex, vibrators, threesomes, masturbation, the loss of his virginity, and sexual fantasies. Below you'll find a copy of Andrea Mackris's complaint, an incredible page-turner that quotes O'Reilly, 55, on all sorts of lewd matters. Based on the extensive quotations cited in the complaint, it appears a safe bet that Mackris, 33, recorded some of O'Reilly's more steamy soliloquies. For example, we direct you to his Caribbean shower fantasies. While we suggest reading the entire document, TSG will point you to interesting sections on a Thailand sex show, Al Franken, and the climax of one August 2004 phone conversation. (22 pages)

19. Google it. I don't know how to do a web link
But google it, and you'll find that Rush was prosecuted or at least investigated for addiction to some form of hillbilly heroin down in Florida. Ya think he's still on it?

I've known a lot of junkies in my line of work.

He is.

21. The people at Fox are no angles
It has been my experience that those who constantly lie and condemn, do it because it:
1. Makes them feel better about themselves
2. They have usually done a lot worse things
3. They can avoid being outed by outing others first
( people will always be looking at someone else)
4. They are feared (people are afraid to talk about
them)
5. Most of them associate with their own kind (group
together) This makes for a bigger attack force.
6. They are only held together by their indiscretions.
( and money)
The good news is that when one falls they usually all start falling. Almost all of these people have skeletons in their closet. We just need to get that information. All of the people that work at Fox had to have summited a resume' because it seems to me Fox likes to hire the same types. If every body digs deeper I believe we will find a cesspool of filth. This group is only as strong as it's weakest link.

23. I heard Fox News is part of the Dominionist plot
to run the country into the ground so that the very rich can enslave the rest of us.

They work to fool the religious right into believing that B* will bring about the rapture and that he is leading a divinely inspired presidency.

Fox News is EVIL.

bet on it

25. Neil Cavuto = PEDOPHILE
Just look at his smug, pasty, self righteous ass of a face.

Just keep saying he is a pedophile. Make him try to deny it.

This tactic works for the fascists all the time.

29. I heard that Fox is primarily interested
in pushing propaganda and 'yellow' journalism beneficial to the extreme right wing of this country.

The so called news is actually opinion shaded to appear as news.

Anybody getting their political viewpoints by believing Fox are ignoramuses and idiots.
