Krazy,
Happy to have a friendly disagreement, but Ailes admits the conservative bent, unfortunately off the record so it can't come back and bite him in his rather generous behind. (He's a very large man.)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not great buddies with Roger (as I am with some of the underlings), and he's a nice guy to chat with, etc. But he purposely runs a very conservative news organization. And that just isn't "balanced."
(As a sidbar, it's interesting that Ailes and David Wilhelm, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee hail from the same Alma Mater. Wilhelm is a graduate and his father was head of the J-School there for a while)
At least "think tank" kinds of organizations label themselves as conservative or liberal.
I still contest that if FOX NewsChannel were an on air organization as oppossed to cable, they would have substantial Communications Act issues.
I will admit, however, that they have been offering more opportunities to the "other side" within the past few months. (Read that, at least "some" opportunities) Maybe there's hope for them.
