It had to be OK'd by Roger Ailes no matter what he says. I would like to have been a fly on his iPhone when he made that call to Trump to make peace.

There may be more to this story than appears on the surface. As of July 1, 2015 Rupert Murdoch stepped down as CEO of Fox, turning it over to his sons. The sons are liberals. Ailes now reports to them. Ailes contract is up for renewal in 2016. It may be Ailes didn’t make the decision to go after Trump. He may have received marching orders from the new management.
