Roger Ailes
WINNER!
Like all good businessmen, the Fox News honcho found opportunity in a market bottom. After the Republican collapse in 2008, he doubled down on his conservative talent, hiring Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin to join Karl Rove on his pundit rolls. Now he has established Fox as the go-to news source for an entire political party, riding increased ratings to greater profits, just in time for the 2012 primary season.
