Here Comes Four More Years Of Roger Ailes

Roger Ailes, head of Fox News, has signed a new four-year contract to head Fox News, Fox Business, Fox stations, and 20th Television. Ailes' new contract may match Rupert Murdoch's salary of $30 million.

Eric Boehlert writes in Media Matters:

Ailes made $21 million last year. Reports last month indicated Ailes' new contract might pay him as much as $30 million annually, which would match News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch's salary.

In an interesting twist, the hacking scandal that enveloped News Corp., especially overseas, only helped to solidify Ailes' power within the company. By being able to avoid direct implications of the scandal Ailes made himself more valuable to Murdoch.

So whoever wins the election, Roger Ailes will still be running the communications arm of the GOP and calling it news throughout the next presidential campaign.

Mary Palmer, your comments are offensive, untrue and unwarranted. Also, un-American. I rarely ban people for expressing their beliefs but you are an exception. Don’t come back. Ever.

The Democrat Party IS the KKK party. Party of stealing tax money to buy votes for welfare bums and corporate welfare bums, like Solyndra and green energy waste

When Rupert Murdoch looks at Ailes and all his corrupt practices he can only sigh and think “Money can buy a holeloddashit!”

Lakeview Greg,

The only awards these Fox “News” frauds received were from their own kind.

Four more years of Fux Noise lies and hate posing as legitimate news. Assuming that his girth doesn’t kill him first, Jabba T. Ailes will weigh about 500 pounds and grow a few more chins by then.

Awesome News ! Roger Ailes is a great American.
I’m sure that punks Lawrence Odonnell and Chris Matthews just crapped their pants

On a positive note this also guarantees four more years of material for Comedy Central.

The economy has not affected Nixon-trainee Roger Ailes’ paycheck. All of these Fox “News” frauds earn hefty paychecks, with full health benefits.

As long as Ailes is head of this fraudulent network, Handout Hannocchio will stay. The day Ailes leaves, so does Hannocchio.

The Stop Hannity Express is exposing Fox “News” little scheme to all the masses.

Hannocchio will broadcast his little show live November 1 from 9 to 10 pm at Great Scott Diner in Amelia, Ohio. This little arrangement was coordinated by Fox “News” producer-and we use the term lightly-Dan Cohen.

Ohio is crucial to the presidential election, so their little scheme is to take Hannocchio’s sad show to selected cities in Ohio and broadcast live from a diner location.

The diner is taking reservations for the masses to see the show. The seats will be pre-assigned-if you get our drift. Security will be present at all live broadcasts.

Hannocchio’s Diner Road Show is a scheme to help King Mitt win Ohio.

NOTE TO FOX “NEWS”

Most of your so-called, low-end producers couldn’t operate a merry-go-round.
