Blogger digby shares a gem on some insight in to Fox "News" chief Roger Ailes' scary mindset:

This new book about Roger Ailes sounds like it's going to give him some major heartburn. This excerpt is particularly telling:

He had been careful to moderate his immigration position in public. "If I'm going to risk my life to run over the fence to get into America, I want to win. I think Fox News will articulate that," he told The New Republic a few months earlier. But Ailes told [Philipstown, NY supervisor Richard] Shea that as president he would send Navy SEAL trainees to the border as part of a certification program: "I would make it a requirement that you would have to personally kill an illegal immigrant coming into the country. They would have to bring home a dead body." [The Loudest Voice in the Room, pg 392]

Ailes said that if he were president, he would solve the immigration problem by sitting the president of Mexico down and giving him a stern talking-to: "Your country is corrupt. You can now only take thirty percent of what the people earn instead of seventy percent. If you don't do that, I'll send the CIA down there to kill you."

The Gadfly supposes that if Rupert Murdoch was looking for someone sufficiently paranoid delusional, and a psychotic sociopath to boot, to run the "news" operation and it's den of propagandists and professional liars at Fox, he couldn't have selected a better candidate than Roger Ailes.

That whole organization, as every day passes, is starting to sound a whole helluva lot like the outfit that Joe Goebbels cobbled together to proselytize on behalf of old Uncle Adolf's ideology and empire.

“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.” 

~~~ Joseph Goebbels

“That propaganda is good which leads to success, and that is bad which fails to achieve the desired result. It is not propaganda’s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success.”

~~~Joseph Goebbels
