Yes, I do wish there were the same level of outrage. Perhaps if there were, Ailes would be embarrassed enough not to make an ass out of himself.

I’m sorry, but that’s a rather strange position. First of all, Turner didn’t compare Fox News to Nazis. Turner stupidly, and crassly, said that popularity doesn’t mean much given that Hitler was also popular. It’s nowhere near the direct comparison that Aisles made.

Further, to say that the reason why Aisles isn’t embarrassed to do this is because there wasn’t enough outrage about Turner’s statement— I mean, that’s just weird. There have been huge numbers of comparisons of people to Hitler and the Nazis since then; Bush, Obama, etc. Why on earth was Turner’s moment the moment where it could have all been stopped?

In the end though and as it always is, it will be the voters that will have the final say. The fringe elements on both sides will be marginalized.

I have no idea what relevance this has to anything. The problem isn’t the fringe elements of the GOP, it’s the mainstream of the GOP politicians.
