Classic non-denial denial.

In the newpaper business, we call that a “confirmation”

I’m sure Roger isn’t even close to being done making money off Rubio. Somebody has to be the punching bag for FOX’s ratings until the primaries are done.

I’ll believe Gabe Sherman over Roger Ailes any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

Where in the article did Ailes say he supports Rubio and will continue to support him? All he did was whine about Gabe Sherman. So yes, that was a confirmation dressed up in a Fox rant.

So… they say the story isn’t to be believed because it’s based on anonymous sources… even as they hype anonymous sources to claim, contrary to all evidence, law and reason, that the FBI is poised to indict Clinton over her email server.

Typically fair and balanced take.

Oddly, I’d tend to trust the NY Mag’s anonymous sources over Fox’s. For starters, they’re more likely to actually exist rather than to be narrative-driving fantasies of convenience. (It’s not like Fox will ever pay any price when the FBI doesn’t indict… they’ll just say it was going to happen, but Obama corruptly intervened to stop it. The beauty of conspiracy theories: they can never be disproved.)

He just wants to hedge his bet a while longer while seeing if the DumpTrump campaign can have any effect on him.

Nuh-uh!

Since there has been no credence to FoxNews since its inception, I give no credence to this story of “no credence” from a “news network” that has no credence.

I keep having this image of fat, ugly Ailes riding Peroxide Pony Megyn Kelly like Slim Pickens riding the nuclear missile in “Dr. Strangelove”, all the while yelling, “YEEEEHAAAAAAW!”
I need a joint after that. And a lobotomy.

Does it bother any one else that a "Roger Ailes" gets to decide who is and isn’t worthy of any party’s nomination? :angry:

“…but New York Magazine doesn’t seem to care about his overwhelming lack of credibility, journalistic integrity and deeply partisan agenda.”

Bfffffft. Do they honestly think anyone who hasn’t been lobotomized won’t find that the height of ‘pot calling the kettle black’…?

Don’t you give credence? Shouldn’t it be there’s no credibility to the report?
