Author To Network: Mr. Ailes, Tear Down This Wall Keeping 'Whores' Off Your Network; FOX TV Returns Larry Klayman's Book Marked 'Return To Sender'
Author To Network: Mr. Ailes, Tear Down This Wall Keeping 'Whores' Off Your Network; FOX TV Returns Larry Klayman's Book Marked 'Return To Sender'
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- FOX News went out of its way to insult Judicial Watch/ Freedom Watch Founder Larry Klayman whose next appearance on the network just might be when hell freezes over, apparently due to criticism of FOX TV chairman Roger Ailes in Klayman's new book, "Whores."
That seemed to be the message when a top FOX producer, apparently at Ailes' direction, returned a review copy to the publisher's publicity firm in Boca Raton, Florida marked "return to sender."
"Because this was such a hypocritical act from a news network, I'm going to frame the partially opened package returned to TransMedia Group," Klayman said. The firm represents New Chapter Publisher in Sarasota, Florida.
"This is a reminder the First Amendment does not apply in some sectors of the media," Klayman said.
"Here's the leading cable news network that cries foul when President Obama avoids it, yet thinks nothing of blackballing a critic and won't even look at a book from an author it dislikes.
"Mr. Ailes, tear down this wall of hypocrisy. You have no problem criticizing MSNBC and CNN, so why can't I, a conservative to boot, criticize you and your network?"
WHORES: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment, is Klayman's hard-hitting expose about corruption, abuse and lapsed ethics in the U.S. government, judiciary and media scheduled for release in October by New Chapter Publisher.
Originally signed by Judith Regan, Whores was put on hold after the O.J. Simpson biography fiasco, until HarperCollins announced it would publish it, then killed it just as pre-sales were coming in at both Amazon, Borders, Barnes and Noble and at Klayman's Freedom Watch.
"I could only logically conclude Rupert Murdoch, HarperCollins' owner, killed the book ex post facto. Given my criticism of his network, I figured it was decided WHORES was too hot to handle."
Klayman is a well-known watchdog and thorn in the side of many of DC's elite because of his relentless pursuit of reform, regardless of political party.
The only lawyer ever to have obtained a court ruling that a U.S. president committed a crime, he provides startling answers to Washington's most controversial issues. Publisher Piero Rivolta said, "WHORES will provoke thought and dialogue, but regrettably not on FOX."
