Fox News reality

Esquire writes: "Of course, Roger Ailes was one of the first to come forward in the week following the Arizona shootings to say that he had told his anchors at Fox to "tone it down." But anyone who knows Roger Ailes — anyone who loves him, hates him, admires him, fears him, or, as is most often the case, does all those things at once — knows that Fox will do no such thing, because Fox is Roger Ailes, and Roger Ailes is temperamentally unable to tone it down. He's an extremist, by nature, and so his network is one of extremes. It's not so much that he has let the genie out of the bottle; it's that he is the genie, and his bottle makes a billion bucks a year for Rupert Murdoch. You just try getting him back in."
