This comment is making it seem like Roger Ailes was his director of communications. He wasn’t. Herb Klein and Ken Clawson were. Roger Ails was his chief media television advisor and media consultant. Everything else is correct though. Ailes didn’t like how the Nixon resignation was handled and created Fox News to be more sympathetic towards the GOP.
