Roger Ailes: We know nothing about Obama, Stewart is a socialist who'd be out of a job without Faux [View all]

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/05/22/488271/fox-news-ailes-obama/

Notable quotes from Roger Ailes' no-audio, no-video speech/Q&A session/rant at Ohio University:

- "Tiger Woods gets hit with a 4 iron and we know every girlfriend within 12 miles. We still don't know anything about Obama"

- "I would love for the AP to go back to being a neutral news source"

- "They're not news programs...Jon Stewart would go out of business without Fox News"

- "Jon Stewart is a comedian. He wouldn't do well without Fox. And he basically has admitted to me, in a bar, that he's a socialist."

- "To be honest, I don't give a damn about being here (at OU)" Classy.
