Report: Fox‘s Roger Ailes Says Jon Stewart Basically Admitted to Him That He’s a Socialist

Roger Ailes: Jon Stewart Admitted To Me, In a Bar, That Hes a Socialist

While no video has yet emerged of the newsworthy event, Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes gave a speech Monday night at Ohio University that has many in the media talking.

Interestingly, one of the only sources of information from the speech has been media lawyer and Harvard Law and Policy Review blogger Jonathan Peters, who live-tweeted the event.

Of all the tweets, one of the most interesting is this:  “Ailes: Jon Stewart is a comedian. He wouldn’t do well without Fox. And he basically has admitted to me, in a bar, that he’s a socialist.” [Emphasis added]

Other memorable tweets included:

“Ailes: The New York Times is a [cesspool] of bias”

“Ailes: MSNBC is out of the news business.  Brian Williams, a sincere newsman, wouldn’t want to be caught dead over there”

“Ailes: Media Matters writes all of the primetime programming for MSNBC.  All of it.  That’s what a recently published book says.”

“Ailes:  One thing that qualifies me to run a journalism organization is that I don’t have a journalism degree.”

(Photo: Twitter)

Ailes hasn’t been secretive about his feeling towards Jon Stewart, once saying: “He hates conservative thoughts. He hates conservative verbiage. 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.”

But the “socialist” allegation is one that Stewart has long danced around– more often than not, ridiculing people who refer to Obama and leading democrats as socialists.

Take this clip from The Daily Show, titled “Obama’s Socialist Christmas Ornament Program,” for instance:

While Ailes has seemingly backtracked on his insults of the New York Times, neither he nor Stewart have issued further statements on the matter.

In all odds, however, look forward to a well-formulated response on tonight’s “Daily Show.”

      Jon Stewart called himself a socialist, on air, in a Larry King interview in 2000. This is old, old, non-news.

      “KING: I think you’re a Democrat, Jon.

      STEWART: I think that’s probably correct. I think I would say I’m more of a socialist or an independent but, yes, I mean, no one would ever I think watching our show think that, boy, that guy is just leaning so far right.”

      So hey, Socialism is great ..until you run out of other people’s money…0r someone has an IDEA or wants to create something different, write music or paint their own type of painting… other than that… hey…

      GOD created us to be INDIVIDUALS . NO TWO PEOPLE are alike. It’s fine to insist upon equal opportunities for everyone…B U T W E C A N N O T M A K E P E O P L E EQUAL !!!!

      Consider this: The Poor in America will probably be the middle class or upper middle class, millionaires and billionaires of tomorrow IF WE GET THE BLOODY GOVT LIBERALS out of the way.
      There are times when we have to struggle, when we have to ‘learn the hard way’ , when we need to depend upon ourselves and not a hand out or easy credit….I think we’ve seen what that mess caused us. Barney Frank can die knowing that HE was the cause of a WORLD WIDE ECONOMIC MELTDOWN, that he cause millions of people to lose their jobs. HE didn’t start out to do this, of course, but this is what happens when SOCIALISM takes hold. Now Obama probably would like to see the USA gutted so his pal Soros can buy everything for 10 cents on the dollar…but I don’t think Frank started out to do this.

      We all need to get busy and get our HOUSE (and SENATE) in order !

    I hate to break it you anti-socialists, but the US is a mixed economy and has been for well over half a century. You have Social Security and Medicare for your aged, welfare and food-stamps for the poor and unemployed. The only big difference between the US and France, Canada or Germany is your wasteful and inefficient healthcare system.

    Anyone who supports Medicare and Social Security, which I would guess is well over 50% of Americans is technically a socialist.

We are the only country willing to recognize the problems of a centrally planned economy and support Dr. Paul and the Tea Party movement. Like I said we may currently be a minority but as the situation worsens you will see more Americans sober up and face the facts, and that my commie Canadian friend is why America is Exceptional.

      I have been unfortunate enough to have had the need to experience your socialized health care system personally. And because of that experience, I will never voluntarily cross that border again.

      The only good thing I can say about it, was that it was free. And that brought a whole new meaning to the old saying…………“You get what you pay for”

      I most probably could have had a better experience in Cuba.

I wish to G_d I was actually lying, what kind of a person would lie about their own mother’s health problems. I guess you don’t think too much of me as a human being just because I don’t agree with your politics, I think that says a lot more about you than me.
      By the way my grandmother survived breast cancer and ultimately passed away from pancreatic cancer at age 86. My grandfather survived lung cancer and died from bowel disease at age 87. Unfortunately my family has been a big consumer of Canadian healthcare.
      As far as your link to this two bit James O’Keefe wannabe propagandist, all I can say is at least Mr. O’keefe put on a pimp costume, this guy is a pimp for the right wing trying to come across as an unbiased reporter.
      One thing you need to understand about the Canadian system, although it is a single payer system, it is under provincial jurisdiction, so in fact there are 10 single payers and they are not all the same.

      This jerk in the video filmed in Quebec which is very different than Ontario, Alberta, or British Columbia. Say what you will about our healthcare system, but every time you have this charity group set up free healthcare clinics in the US sports stadiums and thousands of poor people line up and receive badly needed care.

      What does total US population have to do with it. Healthcare is under state control except for Medicare. Retired people are actually not the issue, they’re relatively well taken care of, it’s your uninsured and those who are just not poor enough to be eligible for Medicaid.

      About 20 years ago a conservative think tank (Heritage Foundation) and some GOP senators and congressmen (Dole & Gingrich) had a brilliant idea, why not require everyone to have health insurance. What could be more pro self reliance, personal responsibility, and rugged individualism than that? They argued for this, but it did not get anywhere until Mr. Obama essentially proposed the same thing and everyone thinks it’s socialist.

      Obviously you’ve never actually met a real communist. I’d tell you that my family actually escaped from communism back in 1975, but you probably wouldn’t believe me.

    Stewart was born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz in New York City, to a Jewish family. He and his older brother, Larry, who is currently Chief Operating Officer of NYSE Euronext (parent company of the New York Stock Exchange), grew up in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, where they attended Lawrence High School. Jon’s mother, Marian (née Laskin), is an educational consultant and teacher. His father, Donald, was a professor of physics at The College of New Jersey from 2001 through 2008; he now teaches an online course at Thomas Edison State College. Jon’s parents were divorced when Stewart was eleven years old, and Stewart no longer has any contact with his father. According to Stewart, he was subjected to anti-Semitic bullying as a child. He describes himself in high school as “very into Eugene Debs and a bit of a leftist.”

      @Socialismcrocks…..Socialism is the Big Lie of the twentieth century. While it promised prosperity, equality, and security, it delivered poverty, misery, and tyranny. Equality was achieved only in the sense that everyone was equal in his or her misery.

      In the same way that a Ponzi scheme or chain letter initially succeeds but eventually collapses, socialism may show early signs of success. But any accomplishments quickly fade as the fundamental deficiencies of central planning emerge. It is the initial illusion of success that gives government intervention its pernicious, seductive appeal. In the long run, socialism has always proven to be a formula for tyranny and misery.

      You always show up and defend socialism…you are a broken record of ‘rally slogans’ and ‘bumper sticker’ logic…wake up man and read a history book..not an OWS cardboard sign.

      @Socialism_rocks Unfortunately, the reason Socialism keeps reappearing in society is because of the laziness of people to study history. Tens or hundreds of Millions of people gave their lives in the 20th century to stop socialism and the evils that it brings. It always ends badly. We may lose but it is our duty to try to keep people from going over the cliff if we can. Those that understand the evils of Socialism have the responsibility to try to inform the ignorant of the dangers.

    Ailes said Jon Stewart told him he would vote for a man who is a socialist. I forget what person Stewart was referring to specifically. Stewart did not just come out and say he was a socialst himself. I am a student at Ohio University and attended the event. No videos will likely be posted since video taping the event was prohibited at Ailes request. I had no idea who Roger Ailes was before the speech other than the fact he is an Ohio alumni who donates a large amount to my school. He gave a humerus and informative speech. I enjoyed how apologetically patriotic he was which you rarely see in many spineless wonders who work in the media who fear they may “offend” someone for showing they love their county.

    Wow that is some hard hitting info there. Speaking of being not a conservative, are these conservative ideas?

    1. A budget that doesnt cut current spending levels?
    2. Supporting the NDAA and Patriot Act?
    3. Pro gun control?
    4. Pro UN and the United States being the police of the world?
    5. Nation building?
    6. Pro choice?
    7. Romneycare?
    8. Bailouts?
    9. Ben Bernanke is doing a good job?
    10. Not going to waste time worrying about the FED?
    11. Funded by the same big banks as Obama?

    Yeah a candidate that those things in his past and present I wouldnt call conservative either.

      Of the 620 bills sponsored by Ron Paul during his long career in the House of Representatives, only four have ever made it to a vote on the House floor and only one of those became an actual law. An analysis by The Washington Post shows that Paul’s success rate of 0.2 percent falls far below that of most legislators, as Paul has chosen to stand up for his personal crusades, rather that build coalitions for more popular, but less ambitious, proposals.

      Paul, who has served 11 terms in three different stages dating back to 1976, didn’t get a single law passed until 2009, when he authored a bill that allowed for the sale of a customs house in Galveston, Texas. Failure is often the norm in Congress, where only 4 percent of proposed bills get a President’s signature, but Paul’s approach to lawmaking is particularly suited to not getting things done.

      We can probably expect a Paul administration to attempt very little and accomplish even less.

      Just keep these facts in mind when thinking about Ron Paul…education is a good thing.

      I am betting you know nothing of the bills. Had you looked into them you would realize his bills were good bills. The reason they dont leave committee is because there is a desperate call for the status quo. You are a status quo guy, I am not. You think 16 trillion in debt is ok. I dont. You think being the policemen of the world is ok. I dont. You think giving up your freedom for safety is ok. I dont. You think gun control laws keep you safe. I think they make me less safe.

      If you didnt think those things you would be supporting Ron Paul.

      If you are voting for Romney you are endorsing those things I said about you. You people think Romney can win. With out the Paul supporters he gets crushed. The only chance to beat Obama is to get behind the candidate that offers the middle something different, not the same old political crap.

      Amazing how proud socialists are that they don’t want to admit even being a socialist. They get upset when they are called out on it or cornered into admitting it. But the most backwards mentality of these self proclaimed geniuses is that they preach how wonderful life is under socialism yet none of them practice this code of conduct themselves.
