O'Reilly on Ailes:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2...101846434/

"...When stuff hit the fan, as it will when you are doing daily political commentary in a polarized nation, Roger had my back. Even in the beginning when my ratings were not dominant. He defended me in public even while sometimes mocking me in private. He was genuine, charismatic, profane, generous and sincere in his beliefs. He could be brutal verbally but if you were straight with him, he would protect you...."

"...Ailes’s competitors and critics acknowledged his success with Fox but never could understand how this “conservative” channel attracted and held so many viewers. Asked once how he accounted for this, Ailes told us it was pretty simple: NBC, CBS , ABC and his cable competitors aimed their programming at audiences on the East and West Coasts. He programmed for the country in between.
His liberal critics smirked at his famous Fox banner, “fair and balanced,” but failed to appreciate his deeper insight. A relentless competitor, Ailes thought traditional television had tilted its news and U.S. politics by elevating a single point of view. He saw a market for news and commentary that no one else offered, and he filled it (including a weekend show with Wall Street Journal editors)."

Johnny Carson was the first person to realize this
