Details coming out about the new book on Roger Ailes - he's as disgusting as you'd have guessed

I think the BEST part about this story is the statement from Fox:

"These charges are false. While we have not read the book, the only reality here is that Gabe was not provided any direct access to Roger Ailes and the book was never fact-checked with Fox News."


"…we have not read the book…" but we're just going to go ahead and say its all lies.

"…fact-checked with Fox News."

Don't they just make shit up? What would be the point of "fact checking" anything with those assholes?

I think ten grand wouldn't be enough! What a nasty looking turd!


The New York Times got an advance copy and published some of the key revelations today. Among them:

During a salary negotiation in the 1980's, Ailes offered producer Randi Harrison an additional $100 each week she would agree to have sex with him whenever he wanted.
He also privately thinks of Bill O'Reilly as "a book salesman with a TV show" and Brian Kilmeade as "a soccer coach from Long Island."
During a 1990's power struggle with NBC executive David Zaslav, Ailes was accused of making an anti-Semitic remark involving an obscenity and "the words 'little' and 'Jew'." NBC's chairman and counsel believe "he probably said it."

Those are dog walking wages, not prostitution remittances!

And given the bio-hazard that is Ailes, ten grand a week would be too little, I should think....

said:

"During two and a half years of reporting, I made a dozen requests both in writing and in person to speak with Roger Ailes about every aspect of my book, The Loudest Voice in the Room," Sherman said in the statement.

"A team of two fact-checkers spent more than 2,000 hours vetting the manuscript before publication. Roger Ailes declined every request to discuss the reporting with me."


So suck on that Ailes. The 2,000 hours probably represents more than the Fox news channel has spent since it's been on air. And speaking of fact checking, since Random House has data to support their fact-checking (I'm sure due to payroll expenses) how is it that 60 Minutes doesn't have a clue how much time, if any, was spent fact-checking any of their stories?

they encircle each other and sperm is exchanged through their protruded genitalia. A few days later, Roger Ailes lays around thirty eggs in a hole in the ground, or beneath the cover of an object such as a fallen log.

and Putnam County in particular for having that diseased pustule of a man living there.

I hope you don't live downwind of him, dorkzilla! I pray that he never crosses the threshold of your establishment, though I do believe that you could take him down a peg or two. Now that would be great fun to watch! Then you could send the video to the gawker!

Thanks dorzilla, I am trying to stay warm, not an easy task the past week.
