Incidentally, some reporters were happy not to hear the remarks that Ailes delivered at last week’s Radio and TV News awards dinner, where Ailes happened to be one of those honored.
A number of reporters from the Associated Press and Reuters who were present at the event used a standing ovation to sneak out of the ballroom before Ailes spoke. “He’s not a journalist and I’m not going to waste my time,” said one reporter for a wire service, as he stood outside the room. “I need to find a drink, anyway.”
The mini-walkout was ironic, given that Ailes’s well-received speech was on the need for greater diversity of thought in newsrooms.

So no surprise, then, that he is attempting to surround himself with just about anyone connected to that era. In the past two weeks, he has dined privately with Jack Kemp in Washington and met privately in Boston with several former Reagan White House aides whom he is attempting to woo onto his campaign. /p>
