Fox News chief Ailes says ‘air has been cleared’ with Trump (Fox & Friends Tuesday)
The Hill ^ | 08/10/2015 | Jonathan Easley

Fox News Channel president Roger Ailes says all is well between himself and Donald Trump after the real estate mogul spent days lambasting the network and anchor Megyn Kelly for the questions he received at the first Republican debate.

Ailes said in a memo obtained by CNN that he had a “blunt but cordial” conversation with Trump on Monday.

"Donald Trump and I spoke today," Ailes said in the statement. "We discussed our concerns, and I again expressed my confidence in Megyn Kelly. She is a brilliant journalist and I support her 100 percent."

“I assured him that we will continue to cover this campaign with fairness & balance,” Ailes continued. “We had a blunt but cordial conversation and the air has been cleared."

The memo is in line with a tweet Trump sent out earlier in the day saying he and Ailes had smoothed things over.

‘“I assured him that we will continue to cover this campaign with fairness & balance,”

One hast begin a thing before they can continue a thing.

Most likely Trump realized his pique was counterproductive.

She is over her PMS now and will be medicated every month until she goes to work for someone else.

I wonder how their numbers looks yesterday. I’m betting they were in the toilet.

Nope, Roger reiterated his full confidence in megyn. What he didn’t mention is that he suspects megyn’s agent is exploring options with other networks and that he won’t fight to keep her there.

".. She is a brilliant journalist and I support her 100 percent."

"Would that be okay if I said that, Donald?"

This is funny. Megyn wants to be on an equal footing with the guys. Then they meet to clean up the mess she created, without her being around. Didn't Trump just make her look small?

Roger Ailes new boss James Murdoch will not let him fire Megyn. Murdoch's wife Kathryn Murdoch is "friend" of the Clintons and worked for the Clinton Foundation for 5 years.

Guess Ailes hasn’t listened to her Howard Stern interview where she’s a total airhead.
