Mitt Romney and many other top Republican officals have quietly met with Fox News chief Roger Ailes, Politico reports today. Both House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have privately met with Ailes — McConnell speaks with Ailes “regularly” and the two are “confidant[s] of more than two decades” — while Romney and Ailes have “mutual respect for one another,” a spokesperson said.

<..> From leaders to lowly freshmen, Republicans are eager to get some face time with a powerful news executive whose megaphone can quickly shift the national debate. In an era of the 24-hour news cycle, in which lawmakers are angling to get on TV, it never hurts to be in good graces with perhaps the most influential news executive in the country.

A Fox News representative said Ailes also meets with Democrats, declining to identify the lawmakers and downplaying the significance of these meetings.

<..> In his book “Bush at War,” Bob Woodward reported that Ailes gave President George W. Bush political advice in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, though Ailes disputed that account.
