 News Hounds: Roger Ailes: Not Exactly a "Reality Based" Person
Roger Ailes, the Chairman and CEO of Fox News, was a guest tonight (December 19, 2004) on the new C-Span program "Q & A" with Brian Lamb.
Ailes said Rupert Murdoch approached him in l996 about starting a cable news network because Murdoch felt the "American people were underserved in news." Ailes said the "primary qualification" for his success at running Fox is that he doesn't "have a degree in journalism." Ailes thinks "life experience" is more important.
Ailes said the American people "aren't stupid," they "get it," and Fox's job is to give the audience "enough facts" so they can make up their own minds.

BOB WOODWARD: After 9/11, Ailes was concerned and he wrote out a message to Karl Rove, the chief political adviser to the president, about the necessity of doing something very strong, if need be, harsh to deal with this.

Roger Ailes, by all appearances, is not a fastidious man. His face is jowly and heavy-lidded, his thin, graying hair combed straight back from a balding pate with no hint of vanity.
If there is a coffee table within reach, his slip-on-clad feet rest upon it; if there is a TV screen within view--and there are always several--he gazes at it distractedly.
Sitting at the head of a conference table at Fox headquarters in midtown Manhattan one morning recently, Ailes is clearly in command.

 Roger Ailes strikes back. - By Timothy Noah - Slate Magazine
But "Ailes was not supposed to be giving political advice," Woodward notes, because he was now running Fox News.
It isn't obvious what part of Woodward's characterization Ailes finds "incorrect." He admits he sent the note ("to a White House staff member," presumably Rove) and gets huffy about any insinuation that it was improper to do so.
Chatterbox thinks Ailes is saying that in his note he expressed outrage but didn't tell Bush what to do.

Roger Ailes, the chairman and CEO of FOX News and chairman of the FOX Television Stations, has spent his entire career in television, first as a producer, then as a communications consultant for three U.S. presidents and several senators and governors.
He believed that there was so much sameness in television news because everybody seemed to be covering the same stories, and had the same take on the news.
They do eliminate a conservative voice at many of these other networks, therefore we appear to be more conservative, because we treat the conservative point of view with as much respect as we treat the liberal point of view.
