Roger Ailes Admits White House May Have 'Legitimate Complaints' About Fox News

[True_Blue]

In an interview with National Review's Peter Robinson, Fox News chief Roger Ailes admitted that the White House may have "legitimate complaints" about the way in which Fox News covers them.

Robinson, referencing President Obama's snub of Fox News last September when he appeared on every major Sunday talk show except for Chris Wallace's "Fox News Sunday," told Ailes that the White House is "whining over nothing." Ailes did not agree:

Well, I don't think they're whining over nothing and I think they have -- look, there's legitimate complaints that they could have. And I've had this dialogue with David Axelrod, who I like very much and, there are legitimate areas.

1. Is he getting nervous about the future when Murdoch croaks?

3. This is what they call "copping a plea" in Night Court n/t

4. This is what they do to maximize 'supporters.'

Murdoch owns both the National Enquirer & The Star. Everytime there's a two-sided issue - for example, Angelina Jolie v. Jennifer Aniston - one paper will take Angie's side; the other Jennifer's. That way, both mags sell out. They don't care - they're just in business to make money.

Next time you're at the supermarket, see what I mean.

5. It is no secret that Murdoch's heirs think little of Ailes or Faux News.

6. Maybe Ailes has terminal cancer - his Lee Atwater moment?

Or maybe this tepid self-criticism is reflective that he hasn't the full diagnosis yet, but instead has been getting cancer's seven warning signs.
