The Atlantic Politics Channel — Evidently some of Fox News President Roger Ailes' friends want to take the White House vs. Fox confrontation a step further...and are encouraging Ailes to run for president of the United States in 2012, according to Politico's Mike Allen. As unlikely as this sounds, it would be interesting to see how it would work. How would the massive news agency and its opinion programs interact with an Ailes campaign? And what if he said something Glenn Beck didn't like? Perhaps, one day, we'll find out. ...

Fox News for President?
The Eclectic Radical — ... about the hostility between Fox News and the White House, it is perhaps only natural that some on the right are pushing for Fox News architect and Fox Studios boss Roger Ailes to run for president.

The MSM has circled the wagons in defending Fox and going as far as saying Fox = MSNBC (someone please remind me at what time Fox shows 3 hours of liberal talk).
