he had told, roger ailes told his inner circle that obama was destroying america and it was ailes job to fight back and preserve the vision of america that he knew as a boy. ailes said about help the republican party tried to defeat obama. but what they did is because the type of programming that ailes puts on the screen at fox is a very populist angry divisive kind of politics it ended up harming the very goals that he set out to achieve. mitt romney who throughout his political career as the governor of massachusetts was essentially a moderate republican but to win the nomination, to get to the republican nomination he had two-quart roger ailes and i show in the book what happens if you cross roger ailes and i just want to talk about what happens if you don't get on board with the "fox news" agenda. john huntsman the former governor of utah was also running for the republican nomination in 2012 when he was running on a campaign that was trying to run on a moderate message not an appeal to republican primary voter but tried to appeal to the general election voter. he came to new york

and so roger ailes -- jon huntsman comes to new york to have a meeting with roger ailes and it does not go well. roger rails essentials leases to him you are not orthodoxy wire you talking about this climate change stuff, it is a hoax and basically be rates him for having this progressive position. jon huntsman got only about four hours of screen time at fox compared to a candidate, let's say herman cain who took very conservative positions, 999 and all that stuff, wants to build a fence at the border, very conservative position, he got more than ten hours of airtime on fox during the primary. their campaigns last did the same amount of time. that shows if you are not on board with fox roger ailes will limit the amount of time you can get on his channel. therefore you will be in front of republican voters for a shorter period of time and it will damage your ability to route win a contested primary. mitt romney at the general election very much campaigned on a fox news style message. it was ultimately that style of politics that turned off many voters in a year when many political analys

and that's what roger ailes was able to tap into. he wanted to. but all of these other netwks want to ignore that huge demograpc. they just want to cater to the people on the coast. i think that's why you're seeing the ratings for a lot of her networks that just want to cater to people on the coast and liberals have bad ratings. >> can i pull up that picture? we have a little picture. if you want hashtag, do that and name that picture. that's that selfie from the nelson mandela memorial service. we're going to leave it right there. >>> coming up, feeling funny about who's making money? why is it when entertainers make millions of dollars it's okay but when ceos do hope you'll join us in about 15 minutes. stay with us. >>> well, here's something to think about as the president wages war on income inequality. this week "the new york times" ran an article justifying celebrities like robert dney jr. making millions. mr. downey bringing in a cool $50 million for the film "the avengers" but "the times" is the loudest mouth in the room crying foul when a

i think that tells you that fox, and all due respect to roger ailes, he's done a sensational job.found out that there's an audience out ther in america who will respond to the right. it was not done before. this is an amazing thing that fox can outdo cnn and cnbc combined and this is because there's an audience out there that he dioved. why hasn't cnn done that or cnbc done that? i don't know. >> michelle, go ahead. >> what ray points out, which is a good point, most americans actually identify as conservative more so than liberals. so there's this huge market. and that's what roger ailewas able to tap into. he wanted to. but all of these other networks want t ignore that huge demographic. they just want to cater to the people on the coast. i think that's why you're seeing the ratings for a lot of other networks that just want to car to people on the coast and liberals have bad ratings. >> can i pull up that picture? we have a little picture. if you want hashtag, do that and name that picture. that's that sfie from the nelson mandela memorial service. we're going to leav it right

he had town meetings put together by roger ailes in those days, so he could portray himself as the usuallitician. not the dark old nixon of old. so is this going to work? >> well, what we saw yesterday in the town hall, certainly in stark contrast to the way we have seen governor christie really over the last couple of years. certainly more subdued. we didn't see much of that new jersey bravado that he has often exuded before and certainly displayed that softer side. at the same time the event seemed to serve as a bit of a reprieve from the really tough 2014 that he had. he wasn't presented with real tough questions. that offered a little space to show the more empathetic side that comes as we have seen all the reports that are suggesting and raising questions about whether his administration is taking a bit of a bullying approach. >> you know, the old question, jonathan, you've been around long enough to know this, i think the difference between politicians in public and often the public version is the one we get. >> uh-huh. >> they like us all. they're so friendly when they meet report

did acquire it preaches to the choir and credit to roger ailes he found a perfect business model he says you know cable news which is never going to have the audience that you know that you know we say the number one cable station but what three percent of america watches so ninety seven percent of america is not watching fox news so it's not like they're great powerhouse they're great powerhouse within the cable community no question about that but most people don't watch cable news so it becomes irrelevant to the public discussion but once again people want to think it's more impressive to say well i'm kind of conservative you know more and i can go into the richest wealthiest most conservative communities and their kids are listening to the same music watching the same television going to the same movies dressing the same way you know smoking marijuana when their kid parents aren't watching you know telling you. debate all you want we are far more liberal today than we were on the motorway that's going to be legal of course everything liberal to mckinley wins why and there's a reason
