Among the latest batch of documents released by the Nixon Library is a memo full of image tips from Ailes to Bob Hadleman. Riddle me this: does this sound like the musings of the proprietor of a "news" channel?

TO: H.R. Haldeman

FROM: Roger Ailes

DATE: May 4, 1970

SUBJECT: WHITE HOUSE TELEVISION

----------------------------------------

HOUSTON

(1) Arrival of cars in Houston was good, exciting but a little loud...

(2) There was an audio lag after the announcer introduced President and Mrs. Nixon. The networks don't seem to mike for crowd reaction so it might be good to ask the director to do a cut-away shot in these instances.

(3) At an outdoor even the President must assume he is on camera at all times. There was one bad shot of him sneaking a look at his notes after he got to the platform in Houston.

(4) I think it is important for the President to show a little more conern for Mrs. Nixon as he moves through the crowd. At one point he walked off in a different direction. Mrs. Nixon wasn't looking and had to run to catch up. From time to time he should talk to her and smile at her. Women voters are particularly sensitive to how a man treats his wife in public. The more attention she gets, the happier they are.

VIETNAM ADDRESS

...(2) Someone said they though perhaps he had a yellow cast to his makeup...

CAMBODIA ADDRESS



(1) I hope that we can set up a more effective way of informing me of upcoming major speeches. I learned about the Cambodia address after the press, and only learned of it because I overheard a secretary talking. This did not allow me adequate time to clear my decks and be in the White House much before the speech...

1. I once saw Nixon pick his nose on camera.

I wonder if Ailes was watching
