Political Factoid
In an interview with Howard Kurtz1 of "The Daily Beast,"
Fox News chief Roger Ailes had some choice words about National Public Radio (NPR) executives.
"They are, of course, Nazis. They have a kind of Nazi attitude," Ailes said. "They are the left wing of Nazism. These guys don't want any other point of view. They don't even feel guilty using tax dollars2 to sprout their propaganda."
-- [emphasis added]
In a subsequent letter addressed to Anti-Defamation League Director Abraham Foxman, Ailes acknowledged he should "not have used that word" to describe the executives.
"I was of course ad-libbing and should not have chosen that word, but I was angry3 at the time ...," Ailes wrote.

Wonder if Ailes ever feels guilty about using money of his advertisers' shareholders for the propaganda that FOX broadcasts.
