Ailes Documentary Maker to Newsmax TV: I Wanted 'Fair and Balanced' Film

Attorney and documentary filmmaker Michael Barnes told Newsmax TVon Friday that he was looking for a more “fair and balanced” portrayal of Fox News Channel creator Roger Ailes in his latest project, “Man in the Arena,” after others had produced numerous books and films that were critical of him.

Barnes' film, released July 24, is narrated by actor Jon Voight and comes after his documentary “Divide and Conquer” in 2018, feature film “Bombshell” and miniseries “The Loudest Voice” which painted Ailes and Fox News Channel unflatteringly.
