Roger Ailes claims FOX News is the most trusted name in news. SNORT. Really? We think you can do better. Post a new tagline for FOX here in the comments and the top 10 selected by Robert Greenwald himself on this Fri, 2/12, will win a free dvd of his expose of FOX, Outfoxed: Rupert Murdochs War on Journalism. Dont forget to subscribe to the channel for more breaking news.

Appearing for the first time on ABC's "This Week," Ailes said that Beck's often over-the-top rhetoric was politically legitimate, even if it ruffled a few feathers.

Reminded by Huffington Post's Arianna Huffington that Beck has warned of "slaughter" and a "killing spree" for those not on board with the Obama administration's agenda, Ailes insisted that the reference wasn't to this president but rather to murderous dictators.

"Well, he was talking about Hitler and Stalin slaughtering people, so I think he was probably accurate," he said. "I think he speaks English, I don't know. But I don't misinterpret any of his words. He did say one unfortunate thing that he apologized for. But that happens in live television."

Ailes was wrong. Beck's reference was, indeed, to Obama.

LOL Fox News .. the warm blanket of soft racism and facist light. So many dumb American who watch this farce of a so called News Program. It's a Reality TV show for racists and Neo-Cons. Funny thing is the deranged racists Aussie who run it and the Saudi's who own a controling share. These people must laugh all the way to the bank LOL. "Look we got all these dumb poor Americans fighting for our Millionare+ Tax Breaks and hating each other instead of us". Herman Gerbals would be facinated by this

@Fablefiend

Republicans (don't know why you didn't say conservative...I guess Republican is more derogatory for some reason) have:

Stopped slavery

Dissolved the USSR

Broke down the Berlin Wall

Refrained taxing already poor Americans

@sinistar99 Interesting how I found pretty much the exact same comment on another video. Let me guess, someone told this to you and you blindly believed it. Since you are pointing out all the positive things Liberals have did, let me point out all the negative things:

Started our ridiculous deficit

Got us into World War 1 AND World War 2

Fucked up the U.S. Education because we were so obsessed with getting a man to the moon (does it really even matter?)

Bail out gigantic companies

[sinistar99]

@cardinalsfan242424 His metaphor is ridiculous. His points are utter nonsense and make absolutely no sense. Liberals got us out of the Republican Great Depression, beat the Nazis and put a man on the Moon. What have conservatives done besides bail out Wall St over and over, deregulate polluters and cut their own taxes while jobs and living wages go down for the middle class? This country was great BEFORE Reaganomics!

@mrjericho5701 And when does Beck EVER tell viewers to research something... I've only watched him a couple of times but never have I heard anything but blabberblabber Obama Mao Stalin bla bla Hitler bla bla Marx bla bla nonsense.

[sinistar99]

@mrjericho5701 Fox news is by far NOT the most watched news. It's the marginally most watched CABLE news. On it's worst day the lowest rated Network news program beats the hell out of FOX MSNBC and CNN combined. I doubt a Muslim would go to a Babtist church for 20 years. Give me a break.

[sinistar99]

@Whodatt999 Absolutely EVERYTHING Glenn Beck is saying is utter nonsense. the labor czar can't "Bring in the Unions" and if Wal Mart workers did unionize they might get benefits and the states wouldn't be covering their health care. Beck is absolutely blabbering retarded gibberish... bla bla Hitler bla bla The figure of speech is insulting and the point it's making is ridiculous.

[sinistar99]

@BelfastAtheist Still that was over 200,000 workers Obama didn't have to extend unemployment benefits to. Can't fix everything at once. GE is not supposed to give a damn about anything but shareholder profits. Legally they can't. You're absolutely right.

@mrjericho5701

You're a danger to yourself and others. Seriously..

@JLE102191

I suppose you prefer Murdoch's model of telling us all what to believe? Yeah you're absolutly right. People like Huffington who actually think for themselves, screw them!

I can't help but notice you didn't mention the main topic of this video, Ailes, Beck and Faux. From this I can only conclude that you're one of Murdoch's minions. Well... are you?
