Quotes
-
Roger Ailes : I don't set my people up for failure. I set 'em up to succeed. You don't like the way I do things, missy, you can go and get yourself a job with the "Clinton News Network".
Stephanie Rains : [leaving] Better than working for the American version of "Pravda".
Roger Ailes : Ho, ho, ho. Jesus Christ. What the fuck is that? What a fucking bitch.
Ian Rae : She is our lead political reporter.
Roger Ailes : No, she's fucking not. We only have team players here.
Ian Rae : We are a news network, Roger. We need seasoned reporters.
Roger Ailes : What we need is people that people wanna watch, because it's fucking television.
Ian Rae : Yeah, and when they do, it's our job to inform them. It's what we do.
Roger Ailes : People don't want to be informed, Ian. They want to *feel* informed.
Ian Rae : That was a completely inappropriate way to talk to staff.
Roger Ailes : [banging the table] I don't give a fucking hairy nun's vagina what you think is appropriate. All right? I'm just trying to make this network the best and most watchable it can be. And that's what everybody in this room - everybody - should be focused on. Now, I'm gonna go and talk to Sean. I'm gonna build up his confidence, I'm gonna ask him to engage his fucking brain before he talks, and I'm gonna leave him with just the one asshole.

Stephanie Rains : Ronald Reagan? That's a name, not an argument.
Chet Collier : Well, what do you think, Roger?
Roger Ailes : I'll talk to him. Get me a different liberal.
Stephanie Rains : That's your fix? We can't control every guest who comes on this show.
Roger Ailes : Yeah? Watch me.
Stephanie Rains : What about fair and balanced news?
Roger Ailes : I am balancing. I will get around to "fair" when Hannity gets better.
Ian Rae : And what if he doesn't?
Roger Ailes : Then Bill will write him a script.
Bill Shine : I can do that.
Stephanie Rains : What? No, you can't do that. This is a news network, not a sitcom.
