Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes Tirade to Daily Beast: NPR are "Nazis," Jon Stewart is "Crazy" And A "Conservative Basher"

It should come as no surprise but in many ways Fox News seems like an extension of it's Chairman, Roger Aile.

Roger Ailes, the brash, outpsoken, often hostile chairman of an equally brash and outspoken, and hostile network, Fox News granted an interview The Daily Beast.

He hates conservatives... He’s crazy. If it wasn’t polarized, he couldn’t make a living. He makes a living by attacking conservatives and stirring up a liberal base against it.”

Roger Ailes, the former Republican consultant and strategist was interviewed by Horward Kurtz.

Roger Ailes railed against his typical targets, NPR for one, especially after the Juan Williams affair. NPR fired pundit Juan Williams for his comments about "Muslims making him nervous." Fox News quickly snapped up Juan Williams with a $2 million contract offer.

Prompting this tirade against NPR from Roger Ailes.

hey are, of course, Nazis. They have a kind of Nazi attitude. They are the left wing of Nazism. These guys don’t want any other point of view. They don’t even feel guilty using tax dollars to spout their propaganda. They are basically Air America with government funding to keep them alive.
