Obama lit into Faux Roger Ailes earlier this summer - Truce now?

[RamboLiberal]

Michael Wolff's nearly 4,000-word feature profile of News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch for the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair is not exactly a glowing profile: "For the first three months of our interviews, he never addressed a word to or even looked at my research assistant, Leela de Kretser, who was at each of the sessions, and ignored her questions — perhaps because it's not necessary to acknowledge a girl, or possibly because it was embarrassing for him that she was, at the time, a pregnant girl."

Relating to TV news, it delves into an "early summer," meeting between Fox News chairman Roger Ailes and Sen. Barack Obama at the Waldorf-Astoria, arranged by Murdoch:

Obama lit into Ailes. He said that he didn't want to waste his time talking to Ailes if Fox was just going to continue to abuse him and his wife, that Fox had relentlessly portrayed him as suspicious, foreign, fearsome — just short of a terrorist.

Ailes, unruffled, said it might not have been this way if Obama had more willingly come on the air instead of so often giving Fox the back of his hand.

A tentative truce, which may or may not have vast historical significance, was at that moment agreed upon.
