Fox News Chief Roger Ailes Lectures West Point Cadets About ‘The Military And The Media’
Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes was the guest teacher for two classes today at the United States Military Academy at West Point, lecturing cadets on “the overall historical relationship between the military and the media.” Ailes, who never served in the military, will also deliver a lecture there this evening on “a variety of media topics.”

As the boss at Fox News, Ailes has had no qualms about crossing the line from journalist to armchair general. Here are some of the lessons Ailes might be expected to impart to the military:

1. I think I get it.
It's the "media's" job to help the military win the war by not letting anyone think we're losing.

2. Ailes doesn't have a lot of experience in journalism, either. nt

4. Roger better watch his ass, might get fragged at West Point.
Fucking POS, I would spit in his face and be honored to get discharged in the process. Common rich trash like Roger should be drawn and quartered.

I hope he ends up in jail for helping start an illegal war.

Or worse.
