Fox News President Roger Ailes slammed NPR executives as “Nazis” in a new interview, saying the publicly financed radio network espouses the "left wing of Nazism."
The comments — published as the second part of an interview with The Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz — were in reference to the firing of former NPR and current Fox News employee Juan Williams, whom Ailes called a "pure liberal."
