Perhaps some new words need to inserted into the debate now. Mr. Ailes is a prominent member of the media and has done his utmost to define the debate according to his opinion and observations. I think it would be perfectly fair to characterize his position as fascism.
Fascism is literally an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization. Mr. Ailes is without a doubt as right a right winger as you can find. I think folks could argue this point, but Mr. Ailes is certainly as close to being a Fascist as Mr. Obama is a socialist, or NPR is a Nazi organization.
Let's make a vow. Anytime you hear socialist or nazi applied to someone who holds liberal social views, lets feel free to point out that the the right wing partisans who hold rightist views are just as likely to be fascists. It is what it is folks.
