FDS alert!

I think the real headline should be… “Roger Asks: “Why Does Esquire Hate America?”

Everyone who disagrees with anyone, of course, hates America.

Since “they are, of course, Nazis.” – Roger Ailes

If only Ailes himself had been put in a concentration camp.

Roger ailes, you paranoid, right-wing fat. ;)

Does the leftwing media ever address issues? Even once? Has there been a single article in the leftwing press responding to the ACTUAL STATED POLICY VIEWS of Palin, Beck, Ailes, etc.? If so, I haven’t seen it. Instead, it’s a 24/7 smear campaign, every hour, every day.

Guess what, lefties? Roger Ailes actually believes that fiscal responsibility, accountable government, individual freedom and limited federal power is beneficial to the country. And so do most Americans. If you want to counter Ailes (and 150 million other people), address THOSE matters. And if you are incapable of addressing the issues, give up on the vile smear campaigns, which simply show the vacuousness and intellectual rigor mortis of the American left.

Who makes up the leftwing press?

“Yes, but your daughter loves you. And this is how you’ll know: One day, something will scare her. She’ll be scared, terrified, and she’ll look to you for protection. And that’s how you’ll know she loves you.”

Somebody is looking for an excuse. Ahm Ahm . I know I know it’s too far but then again it’s Roger effing ailes

The article begins “Why Does Roger Ailes Hate America?

An exclusive and unbiased investigation into the highly paid operative of a foreign-born tycoon, a man who reengineered political and media culture and fomented a revolt that threatens the very stability of our country”

Might be a good article, but if that’s the first paragraphic, , well I can’t read the rest. It sounds like it’s written by a paranoid psychophrenic.

Is it just me, or does the ‘professional left’ just seems unhinged lately. Weird…,

Everything but FNC, of course…

The shame is we the people knowing Ailes as someone of questionable love for America has allowed this loony to own one of the most powerful means of controlling the minds of America and the world. Roger Aile’s had contribute to the destruction of America and because of this nation protecting his right to speech allowed him Aile’s to abuse that right….We are looked at as fools…look at the news people in Tunisia are upset and fighting back while their leaders are running with their nations money into countries of safe harbors laughing…and saying you fools like ignorance and felt secure in the ignorance well here it is….for rose that do not like the left then give back your social security , your pension your rights a labor in most states may Americans have given that right to destroy labor and made it law hello Texas…donot send your children to school and let your educational system become more worthless…money is in keeping the ignorant …ignorant and poor. Those like Aile’s are exploiting this nation weakness and placing fear as the ruler of america…an foreginer that hates america has found an american with a questionable past and a willingness to sale his national soul for the capitalist view of the dollar found one…yes he is fat got to eat so he would not have to live with the misery he caused a nation…food helps to control the pain…just take a look at Fox’s Roger Ailes…need we say anymore

if I am wrong then ask Esquire for a copy of the inteview

Roger was right about MSNBC’s new promo, LEAN all the way FORWARD and spread them. =(o)= LMAO

Interesting guy, but stillI get my news from Jon Stewart, my comedy from Fox and my “lean” from MSNBC. He’s right about “lean”. I would have taken 1.3 million for “bacon”. Yes, bacon. It makes as much sense.

Paul says:

ABC, NBS, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, LA TIMES, ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTIPATION, SEATTLE TIMES, PORTLAND TIMES, WASHINGTON POST. I think you get my point.

It is too bad we can’t look at YOU. You are a demented fool hiding behind a phony name to attack others. YOU are sick and you are a coward. I gottosay you comment sounds like something the shooter in AZ. would post here. Have you been to a doctor?

Having just read the article I think another pertinent question is:

Why does Esquire hate Roger, those who work for him and watch FOX?

To expand on the very truncated quote Mark used re the MSNBC Lean Forward campaign here is more context and Junod’s conclusion.

“”You told us yourself that when you saw MSNBC’s new advertising campaign, Lean Forward, you said, “Lean? They paid Spike Lee $3 million for ‘Lean’? What kind of word is that? Isn’t that their problem — that they’re leaning? Didn’t anybody say, What about ‘move’?”

And so once again, you took out your pad, wrote down “Move For-ward,” and in four hours had your own campaign on the air for $1,500.

Pretty clever, Mr. Ailes. You win again. You must be proud of yourself. We wonder if you’ll still be proud when you do the math and figure out what was lost when you did an entire ad campaign for fifteen hundred clams instead of three million:

American jobs.”"

I wonder if Mr Junod spends his own and/or Esquire’s money with such soaring patriotism as he seems to want Ailes to do?

I just read it and it is repeated throughout the article. It must be true b/c Junod sure said it enough.

paulmdoro said:

Once again ultra-left progressive Paul jumps in to defend the impartiality of the U.S. press. If one had any doubt of the bias, Paul has just cleared it up.

So to answer your question, Paul: the leftwing press consists of the media outlets you defend and praise here at Mediaite. If they weren’t leftwing, you wouldn’t waste your (virtual) breath defending them.

Next question, please….

I wonder why nobody asks Ailes about some of the stuff that to me, would be really interesting: why don’t they spend more money on journalism? Why do they play so fast and loose with the facts on some of the shows, especially the opinion shows? Why is Beck allowed to deceive his audience, since those conspiracies he draws up are fiction? Unless Ailes believes Beck is a serious thinker? What does he think about those memos from Sammon that told the DC bureau to use language favorable to Republicans?

If you’ve waiting for the Left to debate their policies, you’d better get a comfortable chair. They have nothing but failure in their history. That’s why they can only try to gain or maintain power by the “Tonya Harding Method” of trying to break their opponents’ knee-caps. Just remember, the more the Left tries to trash someone, the more terrified they are of that person’s effectiveness in leading America out of the dumpster Leftists have put America in over the past 50 years.

So we get that you believe that concentration camps are appropriate for those whose political views you disagree with…

Two decades ago, Fox News didn’t exist. Now they employ a few thousand people. In order to do that, they were willing to lose money–a lot of money–in the first few years of their existence.

So if patriotism is measured by “willingness to lose corporate money to fund jobs”, Ailes and Murdoch must be patriots.

Esquire Asks: “Why Does Roger Ailes Hate America?”

The absurd illustrating absurdity–Esquire takes the cake. Of course, it’s just an hysterical reaction to the fact that Esquire was named one of the 12 brands that will disappear in the coming decade.

5. Esquire Magazine is published by Hearst which is having substantial problems in both its newspaper and magazine divisions. Hearst recently threatened to close The San Francisco Chronicle after losing tens of millions of dollars during the last several years. It kept the paper open after the staff agreed to huge cuts. At about the same time, Hearst closed its paper in Seattle. The collapse in print advertising has pushed revenue at most of Hearst’s large magazines down by double digits after a bad year in 2008. Flagship titles such as Good Housekeeping and Cosmopolitan have been hit especially hard. Hearst is going to have to cut some of its anemic magazine titles. Esquire is among the weakest of the major men’s magazines on the basis of advertising page performance. Through April, ad pages at the magazine dropped 27% to 206. Men’s magazines are one of the most crowded categories in the industry. Esquire is up against GQ, Details, Men’s Journal, Maxim, and a number of men’s fitness and health publications. The men’s magazines which are performing the most poorly will not last long. Big publishers such as Hearst and Conde Nast have already proven that they will cut what they have to in a brutal environment.

Why should anyone care about Beck or Palin, they have nothing to do with the running of this country? How can you talk of Palins policy, there is none! Palin is cute, throws out one liners someone wrote for her and then starts in on the tea standard….. lie, spin, fire up the uninformed and scare grandma! There is nothing of policy! The right does have informed members with policy, but you call them Rinos because they are not crazy enough and don’t hate enough! Teas are the only people that make a mess in the corner, then blame the other guy! 24/7 smear, every hour, every day, your right the teas do!

You clearly have been watching the mainstream media. If that’s where you get your news, of course you won’t know a single policy position by Sarah Palin. But that kind of ignorance reflects on you (and your news sources) and not Ms. Palin.

“Restricting the rights of adults to do what they please even if those things have no direct negative impact on society?” Huh? Why don’t you spell out what these adults want to do, so we can understand you? Use heroin? Abort babies? Marry their mom? Sure the Republicans stand for moral values that Democrats prefer to ignore, but they haven’t put a huge federal bureaucracy into policing our lives like the Far Left. The Right has put NO federal apparatus in place to interfere in people’s private lives. ZERO! NADA! Huge federal enforcement bureaucracies that interfere in people’s lives only come from the Democrats. So you are talking absolute drivel, my friend.

felixw says:

single policy position by Sarah Palin.

Why don’t you tell us one!
Would it be as follows: Tax the middle class and reduce the tax on the rich! That worked well for Bush!
: Death panels! Now where was that in the bill?
: Repeal that which can’t be repealed! While your at it Sarah, lie about cost and the polls!
: Save our guns! From what, not one bill was introduced to take your guns!
: Fake christian values! Sarah your daughter in that van and its rockin or talking dirty online!

When all YOU watch is “Fox” thats where the ignorance and lies are!

I’m not surprised you can’t name a single one of Palin’s positions on issues, since the spin-driven news channels you watch won’t tell you about them. But that’s your ignorance, my friend. You shouldn’t go around showing it off for everyone to see. And you really shouldn’t attack candidates if you aren’t informed on their views. But, I guess if all you do is smear and insult, you don’t ever worry about staying informed, huh?

felixw says:

I can’t tell if you don’t know about her policies or don’t want to state they don’t make since! Twice you have said “ignorance”, but no policy! I’ve stated where she stands on taxes and healthcare! Set aside the name calling and spin, what are you talking about?

Mainstream is America you dolt! That statement alone proves your an “extremist” that doesn’t represent the mainstream and middle America. You people prove your ignorance with such glee its comical and painful.

“Yes, but your daughter loves you. And this is how you’ll know: One day, something will scare her. She’ll be scared, terrified, and she’ll look to you for protection. And that’s how you’ll know she loves you.”

This is the Fokkks mantra. “One day, something will scare your audience (bling ignorance is like that). They’ll be scared and terrified, and then they’ll look to you (Fox/Republicans) for protection. And that’s how you’ll know they love you.” Sheep. My God, so many sheep.

Yeah, Ted Haggert, Newt Gingrich, Arnold S., – the Immoral Majority – You’re such a dolt for even trying that.
