More quotes by Roger Ailes
Just because somebody else likes a candidate doesn't necessarily mean everybody else will like him.
Roger Ailes
Don't back off on traditional values. It's important to show respect and tolerance for others, but they must show the same respect for your values. Tolerance is a two-way street.
Roger Ailes
You never pull the trigger until you know you can win.
Roger Ailes
I think the media is dangerously close to creating their own product. They used to cover the product, which was whatever's happening.
Roger Ailes
I think the worst decision is usually no decision. If you make the wrong decision you can usually course-correct, but if you don't make it, you've already made it, and it's usually the bad one.
Roger Ailes
Growing up in Ohio and just being kind of an average guy from flyover country - my dad was a factory guy - I try to put things on a screen that reflect reality. I don't mind if people want to argue with that, or think that's crazy.
Roger Ailes
Candidates rarely win battles with the media, and unless you really know what you're doing you should not tangle with them. The exception is when you know this is a search-and- destroy mission on the part of the media and your case is very strong, you are very articulate, you know what you're trying to accomplish - and you have no alternatives.
Roger Ailes
If you want to get unpaid media coverage, you had better be quotable. It's an interesting problem, because very few candidates are quotable.
Roger Ailes
There's something about the American people: They have such an innate sense of fairness that the red light goes on and the bells go off the second you approach that line. Any kind of personal attack is verboten. You shouldn't do it it's not worth it.
Roger Ailes
Reporters may be friendly-but if you get through life without having a reporter as a friend, that may be an advantage. If you insist on having one as a friend, don't do interviews with him.
Roger Ailes
I don't have any focus groups on talent and programming. If I need five people in a mall to be paid $40 to tell me how to do my job, I shouldn't do my job.
Roger Ailes
I think I have a good eye for talent. I think I'm smart enough to figure out what the mission is and achieve it. I achieve it by hiring good people.
Roger Ailes
Everybody who's in the news business today was influenced in a positive way by Walter Cronkite. He had ability, humility and integrity, a rare combination.
Roger Ailes
Fighting with the media almost always is a mistake. You can't win the argument, the media has the last word, and most times your argument is not justified.
Roger Ailes
The thing you always have to remember is, you look at people and they might look like a failure but there's often a narrow thing they do very well.
Roger Ailes
In general, I think man-on-the- street ads and endorsement spots are having less and less effect on people. The electorate's getting very sophisticated, and they want to make their own judgments.
Roger Ailes
I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and got ratings.
Roger Ailes
The candidates that can’t face Fox, can’t face al Qaeda.
Roger Ailes
If you are a good communicator, be unique: put yourself in your own commercials and do something a little different. To the extent you can focus on what it is you want to change, what it is you know how to change, and what it is you think will make life better for other people, you're going to do better.
Roger Ailes
I look for something unique, and I look for people who haven't reached their potential. I think I'm pretty good at developing talent.
