Roger Ailes: FNC anchors must "tone it down"

By Verne Gay

  Fascinating interview or conversation between Roger Ailes, Fox News chief, and hip hop mogul Russell Simmons (I know! Who'd have thought?) on latter's website:

globalgrind.com/channel/news/content/1900155/exclusive-roger-ailes-russell-simmons-both-sides-are-wrong/ 

 Here's the pull quote: "So, we looked at the internet and the first thing we found in 2007, the Democrat Party had a targeted map with targets on it for the Palin district. These maps have been used for for years that I know of.  I have two pictures of myself with a bull's-eye on my head. This is just bullshit.  This goes on... both sides are wrong, but they both do it. 

I told all of our guys, shut up, tone it down, make your argument intellectually.  You don’t have to do it with bombast. I hope the other side does that."
