HUFFINGTON POST, March 4, 2012 -- Fox News chief Roger Ailes is offering some startling praise to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow in the form of a blurb for her new book "Drift."
Maddow's new book, "Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power," will be released in March. Politico reports that NBC's Tom Brokaw, New York Magazine's Frank Rich, "This American Life" host Ira Glass have written blurbs for the book -- and surprising, so has Ailes.
The Fox News chief says Maddow makes "valid arguments," and praises "Drift" as "a book worth reading."
Below, see the full text of Ailes' blurb (h/t Politico):
"Drift never makes the case that war might be necessary. America would be weakened dramatically if we had underreacted to 9/11. However, Rachel Maddow makes valid arguments that our country has been drifting towards questionable wars, draining our resources, without sufficient input and time. People who like Rachel will love the book. People who don’t will get angry, but aggressive debate is good for America. Drift is a book worth reading."
