Ailes at the TCA…

Brian over at TVNewser (not to be confused with Dylan…Dylan?) notes that FNC has posted the full transcript of Roger Ailes’ appearance at the TCA…

ROGER AILES: Good afternoon. I understand you’ve been locked in here for three weeks, so I’m going to try to get you through this as quickly as I can. I got an e-mail from a guy in Guantanamo and he said, “We got to get these prisoners out of there,” so we’ll do our best.

FOX News is doing pretty well. We overtook CNN at the end of 2001. We haven’t lost a day to them for almost 60 months now. Since 2002, our cable news marketplace share has increased from 38 percent to 54 percent. Our primetime has made three or four adjustments over the ten years. Our competition, MSNBC and CNN have cancelled 54 shows against us in that time. We’re now seen in 80 countries. Ad sales has increased and continues to; over the last five years, cumulative growth over 30 percent a year.

But I really want to talk about our journalism. I was going to bring Shep Smith with me, but he’s standing by in Israel. I’m going to introduce him in a minute if you have questions.
