"There Is Him and Then There Is Everybody Else"

"Rick Perlstein, author of 'Nixonland,' sees a strong resemblance between Mr. Ailes’s political experience and his approach to television.
"'Like Richard Nixon, like Spiro Agnew, Fox News can never see itself as the attacker,' he said. 'They are always playing defense because they believe they are always under attack, which attracts people that have the same personality formation. By bringing that mind-set, plus the high energy seamless stream of the aggression of talk radio, he has found an audience.'"
