Roger Ailes lies about Glenn Beck: 'Slaughtering' remark was about progressives in the White House
When you watch Roger Ailes on TV, you can really see why Fox News is what it is: a compulsively mendacious propaganda operation. Because nearly every word out of Ailes' mouth is a lie, distortion or prevarication of some kind.
The most egregious yesterday on This Week, as John already noted, was in defense of Glenn Beck, after Arianna Huffington -- who has already made an issue out of Beck's rhetoric recklessness -- called Ailes out on it:
HUFFINGTON: Well, Roger, it's not a question of picking a fight. And aren't you concerned about the language that Glenn Beck is using, which is, after all, inciting the American people? There is a lot of suffering out there, as you know, and when he talks about people being slaughtered, about who is going to be the next in the killing spree...
(CROSSTALK)
AILES: Well, he was talking about Hitler and Stalin slaughtering people. So I think he was probably accurate. Also, I'm a little....
HUFFINGTON: No, no, he was talking about this administration.
AILES: I don't -- I think he speaks English. I don't know, but I mean, I don't misinterpret any of his words. He did say one unfortunate thing, which he apologized for, but that happens in live television.
Well, as John pointed out, this is flatly false. Just a couple of months ago, Beck was telling his audience that "progressives" like President Obama and SEIU chief Andy Stern were taking the country down the path to genocide:
Beck: I told you yesterday, buckle up your seatbelt, America. Find the exit -- there's one here, here, and here. Find the exit closest to you and prepare for a crash landing. Because this plane is coming down, because the pilot is intentionally steering it into the trees!
Most likely, it'll happen sometime after Christmas. You're gonna see this economy come up -- we're already seeing it, and now it's gonna start coming back down again. And when you see the effects of what they're doing to the economy, remember these words: We will survive. No -- we'll do better than survive, we will thrive. As long as these people are not in control. They are taking you to a place to be slaughtered!
Moreover, as Arianna pointed out, he talked last October about the Obama administration embarking on a "killing spree," inspired by Mao:
Spread the wealth -- hello, Mao -- that is what this is all about. And anybody not on board, look out because you too could be the next victim of the killing spree.
More to the point, the point of Beck's most recent big project, his fake "documentary" touting Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" thesis, is that the progressive movement -- represented by Hitler, Mao, and Stalin -- is responsible for all of the genocides of the previous century.
It's nothing new, in fact. Beck has been telling his audiences for some time that Obama and "the progressives" are planning all kinds of evil and nefarious activity in pursuit of the destruction of America -- including rounding people up into concentration camps, and marching us toward a "new" kind of fascism.
We've put together a compendium of these various moments.
So, who do you believe? Roger Ailes, or your lying eyes?
As Simon Maloy at Media Matters points out, Ailes also lied about Beck supposedly apologizing for an "unfortunate remark." Moreover, in spite of his endless deluge of misinformation and lies, Beck has not once apologized for a single thing he has said on Fox. On the few occasions when he has corrected a falsehood, he has decidedly not apologized; instead, he has used those occasions instead to launch fresh rhetorical assaults on the persons about whom he's already lied.
Seems a perfect fit for Ailes, really, considering just who Roger Ailes is and what he's done for years. Fox is just the final outcome of a lifetime stoking the politics of resentment -- a politics stoked by hate, fear, and above all, lies.
Think about it. Have you ever seen Glenn Beck speaking live while Roger Ailes is drinking water? Me. Either.
... and speaking of Glenn Beck, I really hope those rumors aren't true.
Corruption favors the wealthy.
I've heard the rumor from several sources that Beck is actually the prolapsed rectum of Jabba the Ailes, but I can't confirm it. I'm just asking questions. Can he prove he isn't?
I just love my country so much!

What Is Roger Ailes Doing On ABC’s This Week?
There are also a couple more lies from Ailes on This Week. For instance, he lied about Fox being banned from the media pool. And he lied about the media saving Obama from "dumb things" in the SOTU and "blaming it all on Alito"
The guy was prepared, no question, he had an answer for everything and delivered falsehoods as smoothly as if it were the truth.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
I This was a hate crime: I hate the damn left-wing Liberals. There is a vast left-wing conspiracy in this country + these liberals are working together to attack every decent + honorable institution in the nation, trying to turn this country into a communist state. Shame on them.
II This was a Political Protest: I’m protesting the liberal Supreme court justices for give the terrorists at GITMO constitutional rights. I’m protesting the major News outlets, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS for being the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party. It’s criminal what their getting away with. They’re traitors! They must be stopped. I’m protesting the DNC running such a radical leftist candidate. Osama Hussein Obama, yo mama. No experience, no brain, a joke. Dangerous to America, Hell, he looks like curious george!
III This was a symbolic killing: Who I wanted to kill was every Democrat in the Senate, + house, the 100 people in Bernard Goldberg’s book. I’d like to kill everyone in the mainstream media. But I knew these people were inaccessible to me. I couldn’t get to the generals + high ranking officers of the Marxist movement so I went after the foot soldiers, the chicken shit liberals that vote in these traitorous people. Someone had to get the ball rolling, I volunteered, I hope others do the same, it’s the only way we can rid America of this cancer this pestilence.

Beck's statements are toxic drool.
continues to allow FOX (NEws Corporation, Inc) continue to hold FCC licenses. Fraud is neither a constitutionally protected right under free speech or the freedom of the press and it is a violation of the FCC licenses and of the US Code. Their versionof television and radio fraud also qualify as RICO crimes. When are the FCC and the Justice department going to start looking after the public's interests?
All programs in the Fox "opinion" bloc should have disclaimers saying to the extent that everything presented on those shows should be considered "fact-free" and based on "rumor and hear-say." (Or just plain "pulling-it-out-a-my-buttism")

Watching FOX has been known to cause extreme aggravation in those suffering from constant bowel irritation and disgruntlement, leading to running at the mouth.
In extreme cases viewers have been known to slaughter innocent people under the delusion they are acting under instructions.

as long as I'm free to cut the cable running over my yard . . .
The FCC will look after the public's interests--never.
It's Faux Nooz.
They can't be expected to tell the truth. To be honest.
If they did. They'd go out of business. They prey at the altar of the almighty dollar.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
It's at the point where they know they don't even need to tell anything remotely resembling the truth, because their viewers won't bother fact checking, nor will they listen to anyone suggesting that Fox is wrong.
Roger Ailes is an America hater that wants to see the US destroyed. So why the hell does anyone in America listen to a word he says???
Hey, go easy on poor Roger. He had a bad year. He only pulled in 24 million. That's barely enough to live on.
i don't think in his heart (if there is one) that he hates America....but I'll bet he hates you and me and those of us that believe like we do.
He is just more concerned that America stay the way it does in order to protect him and his wealthy friends....and to keep the negros in their place.....and to keep women in their place....and to tell women what they can and can't do with their reproductive systems....and, you know....the GOOD old days!

clowns like Beck said they "recognized our country was headed toward totalitarianism" during the last administration, but conveniently kept their mouths shut for 8 years?
They have received the right to tell lies and spread propaganda under the guise of news, even though most of their network is opinion.
Unless the FCC and the courts change their minds, we have to fight fire with fire. And when I say this, I'm not insinuating we lie, because to fight Fox News, all one needs is the truth and a means to effectively communicate it.
I'm sure he got all his crap from Beck, etc. And he sure thinks that progressives are out to commit genocide. "You need to read up on your history, not that revisionist stuff." "If you think everyone's life is of equal value, then everyone's life is worthless." Etc., etc. Equality = genocide????!? Holy crap! Apparently Roosevelt, Wilson, Johnson, Carter and Clinton -- among others -- were all part of a grand extermination scheme "no different than Hitler". "Read what Hitler wanted in Mein Kampf, it's the same thing." WTF?
Ailes can lie all he likes about what Beck means. Beck's minions are getting exactly the message that it sounds like they're getting, exactly the message that Beck means. No amount of doublespeak can change that.
between Americans. They really want their insane followers to start murdering "Liberals". I'm guessing they hope that a Fed/State gov crackdown will generate even more violence, since their viewers have been well primed to believe the Government is planning genocide for them.
What do Murdoch, Ailes and other conservatives Hate mongers have to gain? Power.
will be more food for them.
My first question (to myself) is always this: Who benefits and what do they get? It is clear that there is no such thing as "too much money." But I think that is too simple an answer. Power is a winner, but power to do what? Make more money? Yes, but there is more. Money is finite. Resources (except for the sun and wind) are finite. If you really allow yourself to think about it, the possibilities become clear. But, constant division and stress in the form of threats from others is necessary to distract non-thinking people from seeing the truth.
that when Ailes goes to his reward, Beck will probably be his replacement in charge.

I say the worst part is that Beck and Ailes are just the stink on a huge pile of dog shit. The people who believe as does Beck, or who want to believe as he does, are the ones who worry me, because there are soooooooo many of them--and most of them have weapons! Is their fear so powerful a motivator? Is their hate so comfortable--and comforting--that they santimoniously trumpet it to whomever will listen?!
Is this what scientists have cautioned: that our species would react to overpopulation as do rats, biting and killing each other in a macabre effort to reestablish domain? Or dominion? (I paraphrase, but this is the gist.)
Albert Schweitzer said, "Man has lost the capacity to foresee and forestall. He will end by destroying the earth." Well, with due respect to Dr. Schweitzer, most humans actively block the desire to foresee and forestall, because such behavior interferes with their greedy grasping for more money, more power. And, it's not the earth that we'll destroy; it's ourselves. At this point in our evolution, I have to conclude: it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

"...our species would react to overpopulation as do rats, biting and killing each other..."
These things are not just "happening" in response to overpopulation.
These horrible violent people are being deliberately manipulated into violence and hate.
There are almost certainly not greater perpetrators of genocide than Beck's my ancestors the Europeans, at the behest of the Catholic religion.
Thousands of tribes were exterminated. Many wiped out by diseases before Europeans had the chance to kill them of one by one. Whole civilizations on at least 4 continents were destroyed. Entire islands were depopulated of their indigenous populations.
So I guess that is Obama’s fault too.
Just look at what we are doing in Iraq - 1M dead, 4M refugees, and multiply that by every continent and country invaded and occupied by Europeans in the last 400 or so years.

An I the only one wondering if the comment "I think Beck speaks English. I don't misinterpret his words" was a dig at Arianna? I think the guy wa saying that he couldn't understand Arianna's speech, not that he could understand Beckerhead's. But then I think the guy is a rw racist and refuse to cut the asswipe any slack.
And fat fuck doesn't speak English, he speaks Australian.

... with half a brain call this fraud out for a one-on-one debate? He wouldn't do it, of course, he's a coward and a liar (nobody knows how ignorant he is - except he), so it'll never happen, but I'd love to see a Matt Taibbi or a Rachel Maddow, or a Ralph Nader, or the wonderfully perfect Bernie Sanders square off against Pigboy on prime time TV. It would end his career, and it would be one of the most entertaining few minutes the box ever produced (it wouldn't last long, Beck would run off the set crying before too long; truth has that effect on him and his kind).
FOX is The Children's Hour on steroids. When the grownups return, we might be able to get back to business. Obama seems to be the Babysitter. Until someone takes charge, the squeaky wheels will continue to rake in the $$$$$.

from Wikipedia:
Ailes also came up with the "orchestra pit theory" regarding sensationalist political coverage in the news media, with the question:
If you have two guys on a stage and one guy says, 'I have a solution to the Middle East problem,' and the other guy falls in the orchestra pit, who do you think is going to be on the evening news?
Every night FOX pushes liberals, progressives, unions, Muslims, Obama, etc., into the orchestra pit.

Crooks and Liars is like the dog and Fox News is the dog's tail. It just keeps chasing itself year after year without getting anywhere.
Beck has hours...his psycho babble is an evil rattle of the liar serpent slithering on its delusional underbelly in search of whole bodies of ignorant, uninformed folks to swallow for dinner.
This bucket of Monkey Sh*t should be brought down, meaning he should lose any right to broadcast this bile on any network. He's dangerous to the mental midgets out there who could snap under this relentless, putrid, live feed.
