<p>Fox News head honcho Roger Ailes gave a commencement speech at Ohio University yesterday in which he accused MSNBC, the AP and <em>The New York Times</em> of left wing bias and described <em>Daily Show</em> host Jon Stewart as a "socialist." Media blogger Jim Romenesko <a href="http://jimromenesko.com/2012/05/22/roger-ailes-at-ohio-university/">compiled Tweets describing the content of the speech</a> that were written by media lawyer Media lawyer and <em>Harvard Law &amp; Policy Review</em> blogger <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/jonathanwpeters">Jonathan W. Peters</a>, who witnessed the address and posted quotes from Mr. Ailes' remarks.</p>
<p>"Jon Stewart is a comedian. He wouldn’t do well without Fox. And he basically has admitted to me, in a bar, that he’s a socialist," Mr. Ailes said, according to Mr. Peters. "<em>The New York Times</em> is a cesspool of bias."<!--more--></p>
<p>Mr. Peters' Tweets also described Mr. Ailes blasting CNN and MSNBC:</p>
<p><em>"I would love for the AP to go back to being a neu[t]ral news source. But it slants stories, slants headlines. It tips to the left."</em></p>
<p><em>"MSNBC is out of the news business. Brian Williams, a sincere newsman, wouldn’t want to be caught dead over there."</em></p>
<p><em>"Media Matters writes all of the primetime programming for MSNBC. All of it. That’s what a recently published book says."</em></p>
<p><em>"The only difference between Fox talk shows and those on CNN or MSNBC is that Fox invites liberal voices to engage in dialogue."</em></p>
<p>According to Mr. Peters, Mr. Ailes also criticized profiles of him published in <em>Rolling Stone</em> and <em>Esquire</em> as inaccurate:</p>
<p><em>"The security apparatus around me is nothing like the one described in Rolling Stone, Esquire. But I do get threats, most contrived."</em></p>
<p><em>"The guy who wrote the Esquire article about me a few years ago was a bit of a whack job."</em></p>
