Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes will reportedly be a recipient of a major award given to “innovative thinkers” whose achievements benefit the conservative movement.

Politico's Mike Allen reported that later today the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, a foundation that gives tens of millions of dollars to a “Who's Who” of right-wing movement organizations every year, will announce that a 2013 Bradley Prize will be awarded to Ailes, along with a stipend of $250,000. The forthcoming release will trumpet Ailes as “a visionary of American journalism” whose “innovative business-building strategies have revolutionized the uncovering and delivery of news in America.”

Following President Obama's 2008 election, Ailes reportedly said he saw his network as “The Alamo.” Fox News became the “voice of opposition,” launching a four-year campaign to make Obama a one-term president. Since the president's re-election, Fox has produced a massive quantity of false and misleading coverage of the September 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, as they attempt to turn those events into Obama's Watergate, earning plaudits from Republicans senators.

Past recipients of the Bradley Prize include current Fox News contributors Michael Barone, Paul Gigot, Bill Kristol, John Bolton, and Charles Krauthammer, along with a number of other leaders in the conservative movement.
