Zitat des Tages von Roger Ailes:
Usually, there are three or four major news spikes per year.
You never pull the trigger until you know you can win.
Who's like Bill O'Reilly? If there was somebody like Bill O'Reilly, they'd be out there getting ratings. No matter how much the mainstream press dumps on him, the guy constantly delivers an interesting show. He's unique.
'Vanity Fair' is a left-wing rag.
I've been kicked out of every damn church I've ever belonged to.
CNN International, Al-Jazeera and BBC are the same in how they report mostly that America is wrong and bad.
Fox News has a very-high-income audience, and I think that any business channel automatically draws that. We're not gonna reach for a lower financial demographic.
I go to mass every Sunday, which is a shock to everybody.
Television and I grew up together.
My toughest job every day is maintaining intensity with myself and with my staff.
We're not programming to conservatives. We're just not eliminating their point of view.
I would like to be on 'Dancing with the Stars.'
Everybody fears the unknown. But I have a strong feeling there's something bigger than us. I don't think all this exists because some rocks happened to collide. I'm at peace. When it comes, I'll be fine, calm. I'll miss life, though. Especially my family.
David Dinkins was a financial disaster personally - and as an administrator. That is what the record shows.
My doctor told me that I'm old, fat, and ugly, but none of those things is going to kill me immediately.
I don't rise to the occasion when there's no occasion.
I never want to lose. I hate to lose... But Babe Ruth struck out 1,300 times. You can't hit the home run every time you come up to bat.
There are more conservatives on Fox. But we are not a conservative network.
Van Jones has one job: to stir up racism, whether he can find it or not.
I think almost everything in life is life-experience, personality-driven.
What I think works for Fox News is we have a very direct form of communication.
My job is to cover the news and do it accurately and fair. And we do.
I like Bloomberg; he's a friend.
When the press falls in love, they fall in love hard.
I don't have any focus groups on talent and programming. If I need five people in a mall to be paid $40 to tell me how to do my job, I shouldn't do my job.
If you're in the Senate and in the minority, you just get to give speeches and run around and raise money. If you're in the majority, you're under attack from the press every day.

I never want to get caught with not expecting something.
If somebody wants to book Alec Baldwin on one of our shows, and he wants to come on and talk to our people and say what he wants, I don't care. We would question him on his choice of words.
A guy who gets fired and humiliated in the press can lose a lot of confidence.
When I was in politics, I always got accused of image-making and trying to make them something they weren't. Truth was - and nobody ever discovered it, although I was in that business for twenty years - what I was trying to do was to get them to be themselves.
I want clean water and clean air and conservation... that's not what extreme environmentalists are all about. For them, it is a religion. They believe in trees and animals, not God.
I'm constantly trying to invent different ways to do things. If you're going to be a television executive, you have to change with the times.

Giving up your core business in search of a phantom audience is not wise.
