msnbc is more of a business marketing issue. msnbc is not as good as fox. as pure television producers the programming is not as compelling because they don't have the unique talent in the ability to foster conflict. they were often times faded personalities. they never hosted a national television show and he was out of work. the viewers can relate on an emotional visceral level and msnbc i think was too caught up in being ideologically pure to win the argument rather than understanding the television is about performance. it's about the drama and spectacle. >> host: people at msnbc would disagree with your appraisal but they are purely ideological. they seem to have also been attracting the younger demographics and he's been quoted i saw recently he said he liked rachel matthau but he didn't want to get her into trouble. i think they would disagree with you about how the programming comes across. back to the talent or do you think roger ailes viewed of bill o'reilly is today because they said it's a huge success. what is their relationship? >> guest: it's

with the most dominant cable news that would double that of msnbc. very early into the reporting of the book i realized the weight of the stories the life and career of roger ailes because it is a complete expression of thet worldview. the network is shaped in his image and without the talent i don't think fox would be the success that it is commiserate with developed into a portrait of fox news is the culmination of everything he worked towards both in politics and show business and television. >> host: use it as a political operation that hires journalists. can you tell me what you mean by that? >> guest: it goes bac >> guest: it goes back to roger ailes as a political person. he got his start in television that he owes his career to the republican political strategist and a campaign adviser to the republicans like mitch mcconne mcconnell. he thrived on political campaigns. secrecy is paramount. driving the competitiveness. all of the things we associate with fox news is tied to the career background and so when he came to fox in 1996 and started t

have you heard anything from msnbc., i guess. >> they want to keep it going, but they make it work when they want to bhak make it work. they love the partisans on the air. they're weighing in because they want to be part of the noise machine and there is lots of noise out here. the real issue is the motivations of these people on the air, are they being transparent with their viewers, and what is the position of their employer? >> al sharpton was in the news this week because a smoking gun released information saying he was an fbi informant in the 1980s. he was a target this week as a result of the tabloid covers to fox news criticizing him, and yet in the same week, president obama is going to his conference and speaking. let me read what npr said about that. he said for both men there is a symbiosis. they can be sure their message will be amplified to the african-american audience of his syndicated radio show for msnbc. for sharpton, it's just another example of how agitated how complete his self-reinvention has been
