Fox News President and CEO Roger Ailes is laughing off the entreaties of some friends and associates and will not run for president in 2012, an aide said Friday.

Ailes replied when asked about the possibility, according to the aide: “This country needs fair and balanced news more now than ever before, so I’m going to decline a run for the presidency. Besides, I can’t take the pay cut.”

8. Politico.....

.... like Drudge, Faux, Limburger, Savage, Weiner, etc., should not be given any exposure on authentic news sites. They are funded by the hard Right, and can't be trusted. Mike Allen and Dave Van de Hei are two of the biggest disappointments in the biz, when you consider the potential they both once had for honest and unslanted reporting. Ah, well....

9. Whoops....

... I meant Jim Van de Hei ( went to school with a Dave Van de Hei ).
