Fox News chief Roger Ailes will report to Lachlan and James Murdoch once the leadership transition at 21st Century Fox takes affect on July 1.

After word of the brothers’ ascension surfaced late last week, there was immediate speculation that Ailes would continue to report to chairman Rupert Murdoch. Fox Business Network reported on June 11 that the boss would continue to have a direct line to Rupert. Ailes himself told Variety: “My job is to report to Rupert, and I expect that to continue.”

But on Tuesday, following the formal announcement of the brothers’ appointments, Fox reps confirmed that Ailes along with every other aspect of the company would report in to Lachlan and James jointly.

That makes sense.
Rupert hates Trump too .
Reportedly over Trump supporting Rupert ex wife in a long ugly divorce .

This would be a sound investment ... when is the IPO?

“Unplug Fox News. It’s just another Leftist network now.”

That was me until I heard that Roger Ailes was forced by Murdock to apologize and assured Trump that from now on they won’t do that crap. Trump is a great man and accepted the apology. Trump is on Hannity tonight!! and Good Morning America in the Morning. They mentioned him positively today 31 times and little bush 3. That little bygone is now a bygone.

News Corp. hires Toni Cook Bush to oversee lobbying after split...Bush also has a close relationship to the Obama administration and is a cousin of Obama advisor Valerie Bowman Jarrett.

I wonder how long Ailes will last now.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I agree with your assessment. Now they have to cover Megyn Crowley’s azz.

[Ozark Tom]

Yes, Ailes is the head of Fox news on paper, but if you know whats good for your career you will do things my way.

[Hojczyk]

I bet Ailes will resign..

[adorno]

Fox is over.

Very doubtful.

The Murdoch family may have their leftwards leanings, but, I'm pretty sure that they're not about to have the number one news network become a loser, like MSNBC and CNN.

BEsides, News Corp is owned by corporate investors, and they will also have a lot to say about how the network continues to be 'the winner'.

That oughta go about as well as a fart in a spacesuit.

I second it. Remember that News Corp has to report to its “board of directors”.
