The Ailes Apprentice Program at Fox News--Unity in Achievement, Excellence, and Teamwork.

The Cable Gamer has never seen the Ailes Apprentice Program mentioned on Fox News.  It would appear that Roger Ailes and Fox are simply running a great program, not bragging about it.   But having heard about the program, here and there, The Cable Gamer went looking for it, and found this video, tucked away.

It's quite a program: Fox identifies talented young people, from minority communities, and mentors them into the mainstream of corporate success.  This is what affirmative action was supposed to be: Not quotas, not division, not multiculturalism, but instead, individual achievement and  and teamwork.   In other words, the AAP could be a useful model for other corporations--an alternative to the oftentimes bogus "diversity" programs companies currently use, threatened as they are by bombastic Al Sharpton-type "diversity czars," backed up, of course, by trial lawyers. 

There's a little video on the AAP; it was good to see such Fox luminaries as Shepard Smith, Geraldo Rivera, and Juan Williams all being part of the program.

Here are some screengrabs from the video:




Once again, Fox shows how it should be done: Colorblind merit, combined with compassion, beats bleeding-heart paternalism every time.

If America were more like Fox, America would be a better place.

UPDATE: Jim Hubbell tells TCG that Fox does mention the AAP every so often on the air. I stand corrected. But good for Fox--it deserves mention, and, more to the point, replication.
