NEWS CORP'S WEAK STATEMENT ON ROGER AILES:
Judith Regan's New Story Is That Roger Ailes Did Not Tell Her To Lie

................

When the New York Times broke the story last week that Judith Regan had accused Ailes of this--and had a recording of the telephone call to prove it--News Corp. did not deny that it was Ailes on the tape.

Instead, News Corp said the following:

The spokeswoman, Teri Everett, said News Corporation had a letter from Ms. Regan “stating that Mr. Ailes did not intend to influence her with respect to a government investigation.” Ms. Everett added, “The matter is closed.”

Now, that's a very interesting statement.

Note what it does NOT say: It does not say that Roger Ailes did NOT tell Judith Regan to lie to the feds.

Instead, it says that News Corp. now has a letter from Judith Regan saying that Roger Ailes "did not intend to (tell her to lie)."

In other words, News Corp itself did not take a public position on what Roger Ailes did or didn't do. It is keeping its options open.

1. Legally aren't his intentions the primary issue?

Someone whose actions cause unintended illegal consequences is usually not held culpable.
That statement could have been written by a lawyer to help prepare his defense.

2. or

Ms. Regan is now lying about her impression of Aile's intent.I'm of the opinion that at Pox noise, and among anyone associated with them, lying is their first instinct and default position.
