Roger Ailes: "I hope the other side does that." -- What other side? Fox News is "fair and balanced"!
... or so they say. I guess he forgot.

"I told all of our guys, shut up, tone it down, make your argument intellectually," ... "You don't have to do it with bombast. I hope the other side does that." - Roger Ailes

5. I thought that was one of the RWs four letter words.
If she keeps saying things like that, she's going to be burned at the steak. (spelling intentional)

6. Just the fact that that stinking pile of human garbage by his personal whim
controls the level of vitriol in the country's political discourse makes one seriously doubt
the future of America.

12. I'm wondering. Would Ailes have even bothered if the massacre had not
involved a congresswoman that had been targeted by the right?

15. Yeah, the other side.
Yet some still claim Fox is fair and balanced. And they believe it.
