Roger Ailes Is No Longer Sane (Gawker)

[struggle4progress]

... There are plenty of commentators across the political spectrum that we disagree with — and many of them we don't even respect — but for most of them we still trust that they are, in their own ways, in full control of their mental faculties. Not so, for Roger Ailes. He has graduated to publicly spouting the most paranoid variety of right-wing lunacy: one in which a media organization that doesn't even rival your own is not only made up of Nazis, but of left wing Nazis, a political classification that we can't even begin to conceptualize ... When the talent goes crazy, it's entertaining; but when the boss goes crazy, well, it may be time for him to take a nice long vacation on a secluded island far, far away.

We fear that Roger Ailes' own paranoia has got the best of him. This is a man who's already acquired a permit for carrying a concealed handgun and who told the New York Times "I've got a bad leg, I'm a little overweight, so I can't run fast, but I will fight" in case of terrorist attack at his place of employment, and who is shadowed by private bodyguards at all times, and who bought the newspaper in the small town where he lives in order to buffer himself from criticism ...

... It won't end well.
