AILES WARNS CANDIDATES AGAINST BLACKLISTING NEWS ORGANIZATIONS
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Fox News Chairman/CEO Roger Ailes had a warning Thursday night for candidates who give in to pressure from activist groups to boycott debates: "Any candidate for high office from either party who believes he can blacklist any news organization is making a terrible mistake," he said, suggesting to do so would be impeding free speech. Ailes did not make the reference explicit, but he was talking about Democrat John Edwards' decision to skip a debate in Nevada in part because Fox was partnering in the effort. Moveon.org has been pressuring the Democratic party to drop Fox from its sponsorship.
