From TVNewser: FNC president Roger Ailes has responded to U.S. News and World Report’s Paul Bedard after Courtney Friel‘s joke about him in her SoupCans Q&A.

Friel was asked how she got her FNC job, and she responded: “Well…I went on a date with Roger Ailes…OMG – I’m joking!! Actually – the process was pretty standard. My agent sent FOX a DVD.”

Ailes response? “I’m glad Courtney Friel made this joke and not Neil Cavuto.”
