Megyn Kelly, the star anchor whom Ailes has nurtured and sees as the key to reaching younger viewers.

Star Anchor? How did she get that billing? Special talents?
Maybe she is taking some time off to get a boob job. That will attract more "younger viewers".

Is this New York Magazine? Oh, for the days of Ed Klein.

Yes, Ailes needs his “misogynist” audience, lol. That’s sorta how tv works.

Kelly is a misanthrope and maybe Dr. Frankenstein Ailes is regretting the monster he created.

People who go through life as an “either/or” type of person are a lot less happy than people who believe in “both/and” wherever possible. The former are fascists. The latter support freedom.

Ailes has set a dangerous precedent. The message is clear: Fox reports, but the audience decides.

So the consumer deciding is a bad thing?

I don't think Ailes expected Megyn to 'leap up on the stage with an AK-47....to attack' Trump......

relax and enjoy the early political theater, it will get serious soon enough.

Megyn Crowley has lost so much audience I guess Ailes told her to get lost for a week and a half. She just up and announced last night that she won’t be back til the 24th. Who goes on vacay in the middle of the week?

The only reason I caught her was I turned on the TV to get ready for the second half of Trump’s interview with Hannity and she was still on and announcing how she hadn’t had a vacation in 6 mos so she was off to the beach for a week and a half. Hysterical.

Because Ailes discovered that Trump is popular and that his ambush backfired.

Ailes just another little weasel who scurries in the light of day.

“Fox’s misogynist audience”

This, in an otherwise mostly (rather) objective article.
Apparently, name calling/bullying is only bad if it’s done to a them.

Megyn Kelly thrives on the drama

Are her women viewers who seemed to own most of the facebook and twitter posts misogynist too or just the angry racist men? What a bitter marxist.

The first time I remember hearing the word “misogynist” was as a description of Bill Clinton. I can never hear the word without associating it will him. I wonder how many other people have this same mental connection between this word and a major Democratic politician. Maybe the left should just avoid the word.

A tempest in a tea pot as far as I am concerned. Trump acted like a whining baby. He answered the question wrong IMHO - should have shrugged and said he sometimes speaks too bluntly, and not just to or about women. That would have ended it. Most folks know Donald Trump is a bit bombastic. It would have all blown over.

Did you catch the phrase - that Fox viewers are “misogynistic”? See how easily such accusations just flow from the liberal media so often?

Hit piece.

Examples (Plus some groveling by Ailes):

Donald Trump, who has the full backing of Fox's b misogynist b audience

Trump's full-throated attack on Kelly

According to one high-level source, Kelly has told Fox producers that she’s been getting death threats from Trump supporters.

Trump barnstormed rival media outlets over the last few days, dissing Kelly and Fox at virtually every turn

Paralyzed by the volume of pro-Trump emails from Fox's loyal viewers, Ailes's only statement, released a day after the debate, said that he was "extremely proud of all of the moderators."

Since Trump’s "blood" comment on Friday, some Fox executives have wanted Ailes to personally call Trump and broker a truce. But, according to a Fox source, Ailes and his lawyer Peter Johnson Jr. felt that calling Trump was a risk they couldn't take, given Trump's erratic behavior on the campaign trail. What if Trump leaked the conversation on Twitter like he did with Lindsey Graham's cell-phone number? (When reached by email about this story, Johnson responded: "The reporting is false and obviously fabricated.")

Trump told Sean Hannity in a weekend phone call that he was 'never doing Fox again," appeared on four non-Fox public-affairs shows on Sunday, and did interviews with Today and Morning Joe on Monday, Ailes raised the white flag and picked up the phone on Monday morning. "Roger wanted a friendly relationship," the source explained.

Ailes's next order of business was getting Trump to disarm publicly. According to a source briefed on the negotiations, Ailes called Trump "multiple" times yesterday morning "begging" him to tweet out that they had made peace. Trump refused at first, but finally consented. "Roger Ailes just called," he tweeted at 10:35 a.m. yesterday. "He is a great guy & assures me that 'Trump' will be treated fairly on ‪FoxNews. His word is always good

Last night, Ailes put his own spin on it and released a statement. "We had a blunt but cordial conversation and the air has been cleared," he said, adding that Kelly is a "brilliant journalist." For her part, Kelly addressed the controversy only briefly on her show, saying simply: "I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism."

Trump returned...on Fox and Friends. “I'm glad we’re friends again," co-host Steve Doocy said at the opening of the segment. "We’ve always been friends," Trump replied, disingenuously.

Ailes has set a dangerous precedent. The message is clear: Fox reports, but the audience decides.

"Fox reports, but the audience decides."

Maybe they will pretend to honor their slogan, "we report, you decide."LOL won't last...they have lost control, but will slide back into their Standard Operating Procedures when they feel the cost is clear.
