In Gov. Scott Walker's Corner with Tons of PR Weight
(quite literally)
A report from New York magazine
indicates that FOX News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes is leaning towards Gov.
Scott Walker (R-WI) while at the same time having been personally involved in
the FOX News network attacks on Hillary Clinton. Sounds like an old Nixon-era “dirty
tricks ploy.” Wait, Ailes used to work
on the Nixon campaign. Whoops…
Ailes is
to have said he “likes Walker,” who is “a ready-made FOX hero” for his
Midwestern roots and “Union-busting agenda.”
Those
words are from the writer of the New York article, Gabriel Sherman, also noted
that Ailes likes Walker's “hardline” immigration position [that is] in sync
with FOX's” (i.e., FOX has been a reliable
ally for Walker in his fights against public sector labor unions, and
some on-air hosts have described Walker a “sexy guy” and even he
is someone who makes my
toes curl. In turn, Walker advised
fellow Republicans to use FOX to get their “message out.”
Nothing like quid pro quo waiting
in the wings as it were, right boys? Quid pro quo is hard to prove, but
with all these warm and fuzzy statements this early on and money behind Walker (the
power of FOX and the Koch’s) hell, the inference lines are easily drawn and
seen, don't cha' think?
My hunch: FOX and the Koch's both
want Walker in office why? Because he is a dumb ass lackey (easily handled) and
tailor made to their liking. That is pretty obvious to anyone paying close
attention - kind of like Cheney with his meat hooks and strings on George W.
Bush. Hell, even Bloomberg thinks so.
More later, I am sure. Thanks for
stopping by.
