I think Roger Ailes has it all wrong. He shouldn’t ban Karl Rove and Dick Morris from Fox News. He should make their attendance mandatory and require them to sit in the corner with dunce caps on at all times. Occasionally, he should have a panelist ask their opinion of something or other only so their response can be mocked and derided as ridiculous. Pat Caddell should probably join them in the corner.

Reading that article it says that it was Ailes who told the hosts to confront the statisticians. So the head of Fox actually sits in the studio directing the staff! The same guy that did this;

In a reasonable world no reputable reporter/journalist /broadcast network would take Fox seriously again.
But we don’t live in a reasonable world, and reputable journalists are hard to come by.
Our elites are unbelievable.

Rove in the corner is the only thing that would convince me to watch Fox News. I guarantee that would raise their ratings.
As the article says these two fumblebutts were their top two anti Obama spokespeople. The election is over. It is not about defeating Obama to gain ratings anymore. New game.
Still about ratings though. The truth is incidental.
