Fox News’ primary agenda driver, Rupert Murdoch, was conspicuously absent from commentary following the last GOP debate, staged cage fight. It was the only debate where Murdoch did not announce Marco Rubio the winner.
A few days later the New York Times embarrassed Fox News by revealing the corporate media agenda, including secret meetings with DC politicians and media, to advance Marco Rubio’s gang-of-eight proposals and benefit their ideological immigration agenda
Both owner Rupert Murdoch and Fox executive President Roger Ailes have been positioning the network to do as much damage to Rubio’s opponent Donald Trump as possible for the past 8 months. Fox News political executive director, Bill Sammons, is the father of Marco Rubio’s national spokesperson, Brooke Sammon. The agenda has been transparent from the outset.
However, today a report surfaces where Roger Ailes is reportedly reconsidering the media conglomerate’s position.
According to three Fox sources, Fox chief Roger Ailes has told people he’s lost confidence in Rubio’s ability to win . The timing, just hours before the network broadcasts yet another attack debate favorable to Rubio, wreaks of a corporate entity trying to position themselves with plausible deniability; and isolate themselves from the growing backlash of an audience who have woken up to the manipulative intents of the network.
The owner of Fox News, Rupert Murdoch has been a staunch advocate for Marco Rubio for several years. Murdoch leveraged his entire news apparatus, and his most important and visible investment, Megyn Kelly, to advocate on behalf of the comprehensive immigration tool.
Not coincidentally, Megyn Kelly signed a book deal with another of Ruperts’ business interests, Harper Collins books. Ms. Kelly’s book deal is worth 5 million, observers are putting the deal around $10 million. Quite a beneficial backdoor payday for Kelly from her boss, Rupert Murdoch.

Switching support to Romney or McCain? lol
Cruz forces are going in for the kill in Flordia to eliminate little Marco
This Rubio thing was a really bad idea.
“According to three Fox sources, Fox chief Roger Ailes has told people he’s lost confidence in Rubio’s ability to win .”
That should be enough for any American citizen to abandon all Ailes enterprises.
It’s a trap. Murdoch wants his Superpac advertising dollars.
So what are they claiming to be? “News” or “Advocacy”?
Wow! Watched Special Report tonight...abnormally, they did not slam Cruz once...hit the Donald pretty hard though! Maybe the ground is moving?
Frank Luntz has sub-contracts with Marco Rubio and a long-term relationship with Rubio going back to the Freshman Senator’s time in the Florida Legislature. Rubio alone has paid Luntz $350,000+
Frank Luntz focus groups regularly find Marco Rubio as the winner of debate and opinion programming.
Frank Luntz is as big a pillow biter as Rubio is...no wonder they are attracted to each other!
Poor choice of wording ... or was it.
Trump should stop going to these rigged debates, especially the FOX circus.
Rubio knows all about backdoor paydays.
Maybe Luntz should find another network to work for. One without ‘we report you decide’ as a slogan.
Damn - I didnt know this - I used to like Sammons.....
From what I saw on another thread Luntz has worked for Rubio.
If Cruz has any sense he should go after Rubio in FL to set up the rest of the states
This is an extremely important article.
Fox viewership is down sharply post Megyn Vs Trump.
