Roger Ailes, NPR executives and #NPRgoesNazi
After a day of negative commentary over Roger Ailes comparision of NPR executives to Nazis, the Fox News executive has apologized to the Anti-Defamation League, Politico reports.
“I was of course ad-libbing and should not have chosen that word,” Ailes wrote in a letter to Abe Foxman, ADL’s national director. “but I was angry at the time because of NPR’s willingness to censor Juan Williams for not being liberal enough.”
Meanwhile, a satirical Twitter hashtag became popular on the micro-blogging site, comparing NPR to the Nazi regime.
