Media Roger Ailes says Fox News on 'course correction'

Posted By Max Brantley on Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 1:51 PM

Huffington Post has an item on a Roger Ailes interview with Newsweek in which he claims Fox News, which he leads, is on a "course correction." (Which more or less confirms the obvious — Fox is a right-wing faux news organization.)

He also says Bill O'Reilly hates Sean Hannity. And other candid stuff meant to lull you into complacency. Fox is in a bit of pickle now thanks to the illegal activities of elements of its parent organization, the Murdoch empire. It could stand to soften opinions a bit.
