00:00And I love Fox and I love Roger Ailes.

00:05We have tried to present fair and balanced news.

00:08The Fox News, where at best things are left out and at worst things are terribly distorted.

00:30And the only question I ask my people really is, can you present a fair story even if it

00:41doesn't come out the way you want?

00:43And he says, well, you've got bias.

00:45I said, everybody's got bias.

00:46You don't have bias, you're brain dead.

01:30We're not starting up a reactive news service here, so we just expect to do fine, balanced

01:57journalism.

01:58A Clinton bombshell.

02:20The president faces a new scandal that is rocking the White House.

02:25I run Fox News.

02:28Rupert Murdoch asked me to build a worldwide news channel, and we started about two and

02:32a half years ago.

02:33We're in about 38 million homes now, and we just passed MSNBC yesterday in terms of eyeballs

02:40on the screen.

02:41And we're doing pretty well.

02:57Fox News now projects George W. Bush, the winner in Florida, and thus it appears the

03:01winner of the presidency of the United States.

03:11I can't tell you the number of times I have invited my Republican colleagues to come down

03:26to the floor and have a debate.

03:28We don't even argue anymore.

03:30They go on Fox News, we go on MSNBC.

03:46Because we're not hearing about these cases because they're going to secret arbitration.

03:50That's part of the reason.

03:51We're fooling our culture into thinking that we've come so far.

03:54Why?

03:55Because we're not hearing about it.

03:56Fox News.

03:57We demand that you stop validating sexual harassment and assault, and that you stop

03:58isolating, intimidating survivors.

03:59And we demand that you take Bill O'Reilly and other sexual predators out of the White

04:29House.

04:30Off the airwaves.

04:38What we can tell you with certainty is that Barack Obama has deep emotional ties to Islam.

04:44Many schools that do plan to reopen will do so under a series of restrictions that have

04:49no basis of any kind in science.

05:19This morning, I'm watching Fox News.

05:34The media is fake and corrupt.

05:37Big Tech controls the media and they control the politicians.

05:41And I'll tell you what, I give Tucker Carlson and I give Sean Hannity and I give Laura,

05:49I give all of those people that are willing to talk about tremendous credit.

05:57And Fox and Friends in the morning is the best show and it's the absolute most honest

06:03show and it's the show I watch.

06:18The worst polls are the Fox polls, believe it or not.

06:20They're the worst.

06:26Fox News, I liked them up until they started not telling the truth anymore.

06:39I think they've lost a lot of credibility this cycle.

06:41No question.

06:42They are no longer the Fox News of the past.

06:45They have shifted themselves into the regular coup, if you will, of the mainstream media.
