The Jewish Telegraphic Agency website reports today (November 18, 2010) that Fox News Chief Roger Ailes apologized to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for calling National Public Radio executives "Nazis."
Ailes made the comment in an interview with the Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz, who was canvassing recent controversies about the right-leaning news channel. Ailes also said in the interview that "left-wing rabbis" make it difficult to use the term "Holocaust" on the air.
Today, Ailes issued an apology to the ADL, saying he was sorry for using the term Nazi.
Abraham Foxman, ADL's national director and a Holocaust survivor, accepted the apology. "I welcome Roger Ailes' apology, which is as sincere as it is heartfelt," Foxman said in a statement.
