Roger Ailes should be down for the count by now, but he’s still hitting back — and it could get ugly

If Roger Ailes believes in anything, it’s the counterattack.

When you’re accused, losing, wounded, bleeding — hit back hard. Go for the jugular.

That philosophy — actually, a whole way of life — is surely what’s behind a letter sent a few days ago to New York magazine from one Charles Harder, on behalf of the deposed Fox News founder, suggesting that a defamation action may be coming. (. . .) when a letter arrives from Charles Harder, it sends a loud message: Stop messing with my client, or else.

In America today, if one has the money and the will to spend it, you can destroy a bit of that "biased lame-stream media" or force it into ignoring your actions. Then we all get to 'enjoy' a bias-free media because the media owners care more about their profits than helping Americans learn.

"When you’re accused, losing, wounded, bleeding — hit back hard. Go for the jugular."

Indeed. As I believe Hunter Thompson once explained, if you cause a car accident the best strategy is to immediately jump out and start screaming bloody murder at the other person, until you've convinced them that it was entirely their fault.

I don't think that will work so well for Ailes given the number of....ahem...."car accidents" alleged, if you will.
