    In ‘The Elephant in the Green Room” the article says this about Roger Ailes…

    “…In the aftermath of the Tucson rampage, the national mood seemed to pivot. Ailes recognized that a Fox brand defined by Palin could be politically vulnerable. Two days after the shooting, he gave an interview… “I told all of our guys, ‘Shut up, tone it down, make your argument intellectually…’”

    LOL… they can’t, because the Fox “News” audiance doesn’t ‘do’ intelligence, they are trained by you, Roger Ailes, to respond to emotional nonsense. You don’t have an intelligent argument Ailes, you are a tabloid salesman.
