Roger Ailes Says He ‘Doesn’t Care’ If Reports Claim Glenn Beck Was Fired Or Quit?
For what it’s worth, Roger Ailes isn’t losing sleep over how reporters write up the news of the end of Glenn Beck‘s show on Fox News. “Half of the headlines say he’s been canceled,” Ailes tells the Associated Press’ David Bauder. “The other half say he quit. We’re pretty happy with both of them.”
Bauder, who describes Beck’s tenure at Fox as a “quick burn,” notes that Ailes wondered how much longer the current format of the show could continue:
“We felt Glenn brought additional information, a unique perspective, a certain amount of passion and insight to the channel and he did,” Ailes said. “But that story of what’s going on and why America is in trouble today, I think he told that story as well as could be told. Whether you can just keep telling that story or not … we’re not so sure.”
Whether advertiser backlash played any role in Beck’s departure from the 5 p.m. slot, Ailes said no, though he conceded the reaction of advertisers was “frustrating,” telling the AP, “advertisers who get weak-kneed because some idiot on a blog site writes to them and says we need to stifle speech, I get a little frustrated by that.”
