Huffington got in another punch. She asked Ailes, who had just boasted about his sky high “fair and balanced” ratings, why Fox News opted to cut off the coverage of Obama’s historic and triumphant appearance at the House Republican retreat last Friday.
Ailes feeble response? “Because we’re the most trusted name in news.” Huh? Forget the malicious audacity of such a statement. It doesn’t even make sense. If an outlet–any outlet–is truly to be trusted to provide fair and balanced news coverage–it certainly would carry the entire event. Unfiltered. That’s how trust is garnered. Or rather should be. Wake up, people. Regardless of political affiliation, everyone deserves to have the facts. And when a rare live, unedited event like Friday’s is available, the public has a right to see it. No matter who comes out the perceived victor. Apparently, even twenty more minutes was too long for the paranoid rabble rousers on Fox News to wait to start spinning the reality out of the event.
