Fox: Cable News Gold Standard

Roger Ailes Repositions Fox News Howard Kurtz
“Mr. Ailes treats me like a son." Shep Smith to the Times-Picayune's Dave Walker on the occasion of Fox News' 15th anniversary this Friday.

"Dad" tells AP's TV scribe Frazier Moore he's not sure if he'll stay on when his contract runs out in June 2013. "I just went to my doctor and he said, 'Other than arthritis, your chart reads like a 40-year-old's. You're old, you're fat and you're ugly, but you're not going to die from any of those things immediately.'" 

Consider Ailes the good Goldfinger.

  6. The big bite out of Moore's AP piece:  Roger hired Sarah Palin because she was "hot" and was a ratings magnet.  I presume Palin, now that she's not running for prez, will strut her hotness on Fox once again.
