America Vision

“I put on an American channel for America. For old folks and young folks, and try to mix it up and make it interesting. People look at it, and I hope I get high enough ratings overall, and people will include some of the subgroups in comparable measurements. So Bill O’Reilly has the highest demo on our channel. . . . He’s in his 60s, and he’s cranky, and a lot of kids don’t want to watch his ass but they do.” 

—Roger Ailes, co-founder and CEO of Fox News, was named AdWeek’s “2015 Media Visionary,” Dec. 2, 2015

• Editorial Comment: This is America’s “visionary”? That explains a lot.
