Fox News and Roger Ailes are finally getting credit, and deservedly so, for FNC's energetic reimagining of cable news and rejuvenation of the once-stale cable game format.
Once again, the above headline on this blog-post is a verbatim headline from an MSM publication, in this case, Broadcasting & Cable. The article, by John Eggerton, notes that the 2006 First Amendment Leadership Award from the Radio-Television News Directors Foundation at its annual awards dinner March 8 in Washington DC will go Ailes, because, as the RNNDF wrote to Ailes, "The news organization you have built offers, just as the framers intended, a variety of viewpoints, independent voices, and probing investigations that hold important institutions accountable."
Indeed.
