Fox News Channel chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. "He’s a brilliant comedian. He’s actually a very nice guy," the chairman and CEO of Fox News told THR, noting that Stewart "has a bitter view of the world." As Jon Stewart's final Daily Show approaches, the comedian has mercilessly mocked Fox News Channel, even comparing Roger Ailes to Death. It’s almost like he’s daring the network’s chairman and CEO to respond. Now, he has. "He’s been after us for years. Occasionally we pay attention. We think he’s funny. We never took it seriously and he never made a dent in us," Ailes told The Hollywood Reporter after being contacted on Wednesday. The Fox News chief added: "As he faces the end of his career, he’s beginning to wonder: ‘Is this as popular as I’m ever going to get? Is this as much power as I’ll ever have? The one person I could never get rid of was Roger Ailes. I tried. I did everything I could.’ This was all a plea to his lefty friends. I think he’s disappointed that he didn’t accomplish that goal, and we, of course, supplied him with half of his comedy. It’s just a matter of disappointment." During his show last week, Jon Stewart showed a clip of the Ingmar Bergman movie, The Seventh Seal, only he substituted Ailes for the Death character. Ailes told THR he hadn’t seen the segment, but he isn’t surprised at the vitriol aimed at him. “He’s feeling unrewarded because Fox News beats him on the amount of money we make, on ratings and on popularity. I’m sure it’s very depressing when he sits home at night and worries about it. We never did,” Ailes said. "He’s a brilliant comedian. He’s actually a very nice guy, and I saw him with his kids on the street. He’s a good father. He has a bitter view of the world and you see it embodied in how he’s reacting to Fox News, equating it with death." On an episode of his Comedy Central show this week, Stewart did his best to eviscerate Fox News yet again, but then ended the segment on an unusually serious note: “I’m just playing around with you guys. Your hypocrisy isn’t a bug in the Fox model. It’s the feature. Your job is to discredit any source of criticism that might hurt the conservative brand by angrily holding them to standards you yourselves jettisoned in your news network’s mission statement. But I’d be happy to listen, if you make an actual argument.” See the segment below. Ailes said he didn’t take even that attack all too seriously. "You can’t say that many negative things about people unless you’re really unhappy about something," he said. "I actually think he doesn’t dislike me. We met once or twice. I talked to him for an hour once in my office. I think he’s really smart and he’s got a great future." At Fox News, perhaps? “No. He can’t come over here. He would depress everyone,” Ailes said. “I could get him a job. Not on air. As a stage-hand.” Ailes also took a jab at Stewart’s nascent career as a film director that began in 2014 with Rosewater, a drama about a journalist captured in Iran. The movie made just $3.1 million worldwide. “Knowing him, he’ll direct movies with sort of a left-wing point of view, and America’s a terrible country,” said Ailes. “Somebody needs to tell him that 90 percent of what Hollywood puts out already does that. He’s going to have to find another niche.”

FOX is like Pravda for conservatives. I feel sorry for conservatives who actually feel FOX is not manipulating them. The same applies to MSNBC of course. The fascinating thing for me is how different the manipulation/propaganda techniques are. The FOX approach is really more blunt - nuance is like a no no for FOX but the MSNBC propagandist tries to more urbane.

At Fox News, perhaps? “No. He can’t come over here. He would depress everyone,” Ailes said. “I could get him a job. Not on air. As a stage-hand.” I saw the headline and my first thought was "WTF was Ailes thinking?" Then I read the two sentences above,and it all made sense. Mostly.If it were me I MIGHT hire Steward to clean the toilets,but that's about it. Maybe "Stewart" can have a future as the leader of a "Self-hating Jews Club for washed up comedians"?

Typical leftie with the typical leftie blindspot. This had nothing to do with Fox News,and everything to do with Stewart being a washed-up leftie.

This had nothing to do with Fox News,and everything to do with Stewart being a washed-up leftie. You can go on tangents on threads, Pete. I know it makes you uncomfortable to leave your bubble. Here is some up skirt panty shots of FOX news hosts to make you feel better, old timer.
Thanks for the photos,but as for the rest of it you are as far off target as you are with everything else. I honestly can't remember the last time I watched Fox. Had to be at least 10 years ago,though. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
All I see is the conservative use of underwear.

He certainly deserves the position. Leibowitz does seem to be very bitter. But not Ailes. Life seems pretty good to Ailes. Living well really is the best revenge, I guess. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Why is he a self hating Jew? Where did that come from?
Why is he a self hating Jew? Where did that come from? Because he is actually a Jew named Leibowitz posing as a non-Jew named Stewart. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Why is he a self hating Jew? Where did that come from? Because he is actually a Jew named Leibowitz posing as a non-Jew named Stewart. Kirk Douglas was a Jew also (I think he passed on). It's a performer name. Come on.
So what? I remember watching and enjoying his performances in a lot of movies,but I don't remember him ever filling the role of political observer and pundit.

So what? I remember watching and enjoying his performances in a lot of movies,but I don't remember him ever filling the role of political observer and pundit. That is not Kirk's real name. He is a Russian Jew. Entertainers on many occasions take on fake names. It is not a sign of self loathing.
Steward was working as a political pundit,not a entertainer. The real deal is Jews pretty much control all aspects of the entertainment industry,and a lot of them change their last names to "goy" names so it isn't so obvious and doesn't raise so much resentment. Of course,this is a lot easier to do with Jews like Goldi Hawn than it is Howard Stern,but it's true none the less. The flip side of that is Whoopie Goldberg changed her name from Karen Williams because she was looking to get comedy gigs and knew the comedy clubs are also mostly controlled by Jews,and that a Jewish last name practically guaranteed at least one appearance. She also said that a lot of times the comedy club owner would try to avoid paying her when a woman who was obviously black showed up. She said she always told them she was willing to not appear on stage,but she had a contract and they WERE going to have to pay her anyhow,so she got to perform. The key aspect to all this is it seems like almost all of the Ashkenazi Jews that came here from Eastern Europe brought their leftism here with them,and have used their wealth and influence to try to destroy our Republic.

No, he is a long time stand up comic who hosted MTV game shows before this gig.
So what? Maybe he was a boy scout at one time,too? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
