Fox News President Roger Ailes Caught Lying: Defends Glenn Beck's Smears

Appearing for the first time on ABC's "This Week," Ailes said that
Beck's often over-the-top rhetoric was politically legitimate, even
if it ruffled a few feathers.Reminded by Huffington Post's Arianna
Huffington that Beck has warned of "slaughter" and a "killing
spree" for those not on board with the Obama administration's
agenda, Ailes insisted that the reference wasn't to this president
but rather to murderous dictators."Well, he was talking about
Hitler and Stalin slaughtering people, so I think he was probably
accurate," he said. "I think he speaks English, I don't know. But I
don't misinterpret any of his words. He did say one unfortunate
thing that he apologized for. But that happens in live
television."Ailes was wrong. Beck's reference was, indeed, to
Obama.
