Today In The Biased Liberal Media
By The unofficial leader of the opposition, everybody:
For more than a year, Fox News has waged an intense campaign to discredit Gabriel Sherman’s forthcoming biography of network CEO Roger Ailes. A review of the book, which Media Matters obtained in advance of its Tuesday release, reveals that the network was right to be worried.
Among other revelations, Sherman reports that Ailes agreed with Glenn Beck’s infamous remark that President Obama has “a deep-seated hatred for white people”; Ailes thinks Navy SEALs should “have to personally kill an illegal immigrant” as part of their certification; Ailes allegedly offered an employee a salary increase if she would have sex with him on demand; and Ailes once called a rival executive “a little fucking Jew prick.”
The first details from Sherman’s The Loudest Voice in the Room generated serious press attention this week, including the news that Ailes tried to gear Fox’s 2012 coverage to “elect the next president.”
Ailes’s lickspittles are gathering to attack Sherman for a reason, apparently.
…New York has an excerpt from Sherman’s book, which can be found here.
