Fox News Chief Roger Ailes: 'I've hired and promoted gays all my life'

As the primary channel for conservative viewers, one might expect the top brass at Fox News to be in favor of what many conservatives consider "traditional marriage." But in a new profile in The Hollywood Reporter, Fox News Chief Roger Ailes revealed that in his eyes, same-sex relationships are basically a non-issue.

"I don't care," said Ailes. "It's not my business how people live. I don't try to tell them what to do. I've hired and promoted gays all my life. I just don't get involved. It's not my business. And it's not their business what I like."
