Executive summary: CEO of Fox News Worked as a media consultant to the Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush presidential campaigns. "The only question is whether we depict Willie Horton with a knife in his hand or without it."
"There are four things the media are interested in. They're interested in polls, they're interested in pictures, they're interested in mistakes, and they're interested in attacks."
"I don't ignore anything. Somebody gets in my face, I get in their face."
Paula Zahn recalls that when she told Ailes she was moving to CNN in 2001, "he made it very clear to me that he was not going to make life easy for me. He told me I was allowing myself to be drawn into what he called a holy war between CNN and Fox News, and that I was going to have to pay a price for that."
