Roger Ailes

Tomorrow night, September 29th, is the first debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. So today on Now I've Heard Everything, I wanted to revisit an interview I did over 30 years ago with a man who played a key role in the 1984 presidential debates between Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale. Years before he became head of Fox News -- way before there even was a Fox News -- Roger Ailes was a media consultant.  Most prominent among his many clients, perhaps, was President Ronald Reagan. Ailes was an adviser to the President in his 1984 reelection bid, and was indrectly responsible for one of that campaign's most memorable, and decisive, moments.
