Nasty 'Nazi' Comment (Follow up to NPR Case Study)

Fox News CEO Ailes: NPR Execs Have Nazi Attitude

Fox New's CEO, Roger Ailes, seriously criticized NPR for the way the handled the firing of Juan Williams by stating, "They are, of course, Nazis. They have a kind of Nazi attitude. They are the left wing of Nazism. These guys don't want any other point of view."

He was heavily criticized by the public for his comments and apologized to a Jewish civil rights group. He later discussed his use of words and said that if he could take it back he would have much rather have called NPR 'nasty inflexible bigots.'

This is pretty racy language to be used in interviews.
