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.

So Fox claimed no issue. Claims they did great.
Then for 4 days straight They get blasted In print, on websites, on twitter, on facebook.
Monday Ailes Calls Trump.
Later in the Day, Bret Baier notes the anger in the messages he is getting and notes the suggestion in them that Fox is carrying the RINO iYeb’s water.
At 9:00 Megyn whines that Trump is still attacking her, but she won’t apologize for doing her job.
Oh yeah they are feeling the heat!
Tough Crap. You brought in on yourself.
I thought she was a lawyer, not a journalist. Learn something new everyday
News Flash: FoxNews Roger Ailes announced that Larry Springer will host the future FoxNews Political Debates. Mr. Ailes explained that in that FoxNews seeks to have a Reality TV Debate with discussion of non issue tabloid trash questions to get a larger audience and that there is none better than Larry Springer who is well known for his sordid knock down TV shows that discuss every infidelity and anger management problem that can be conceived. Larry Springer will be paid a whopping sum of $500,000 per Debate and was quoted as saying that he plans on having MeGYN Kelly there in her slinky cleavage showing dress to get everyone excited...
Roger Ailes was also quoted as saying “Why have an amateur like MeGYN Kelly conduct these Debates when we at FoxNews can have a Professional Slime and Mud thrower like Jerry Springer.. FoxNews will rake in millions of viewers and dollars - Such a Deal ... !!!

Me-Gyn is a wonderful member of the Bimbo-list.
Hoa boy, Roger just set himself up for a Discrimination suit by Jerkaldo
No one can throw mud better than Jerkaldo and he is a fake Mexican that enjoys getting his nose broke in the process!
Megyn Kelly is safe at FOX for as long as she wishes to stay.
She is the rock star of the network.
Trump may be riding high, but, he’ll be gone in a few months, and Megyn will be riding higher.
I like Trump, mostly because he’s bringing light to issues that need to be discussed. But, he’s not a conservative, no matter if he says so a million times.
If Megyn were to leave the network, she would be the most wanted host on the planet, and she could easily replace anybody on the highest position as a news host. FOX’s loss would be some other lucky network’s gain.
Yes, Hewitt and Jake Tapper are moderating the next debate, which is on CNN.
I wondered if Kelly will moderate the next debate on FOX in January.
Trump is as Conservative as 14 of the other Candidates the claiming same label.
I really don’t understand why the establishment is so upset
About it. Maybe it’s because he won’t be a ho to their specific pimps. :)
No, but she’s been subtly admonished. The subtext of memos put out by Ailes and Trump are clear.
I doubt they will let Megyn Crowley near another debate.
Is this picture of valerie and Murdock where jebby is sitting on the right hand side of Valerie?
“(Patiently waiting for the jack booted kick at my door.)”
Megyn has enlisted the aid of Rand Paul to deliver the kick. Carly will be his backup.

Most likely Ailes didn’t want to see his ratings plummet.
Winner.

I feel Trump’s past positions have changed after experiencing obama. And that a President Trump who loves his country, Trump will be satisfied to be constrained by Congress. Trump’s focus would be on the Economy, Jobs, Trade, Reforming and realigning the Cabinet Departments, putting effort into stopping the divisiveness that obama instigated, getting the military back in shape and cut out all the PC nonsense, improve military readiness, getting foreign affairs back on track...etc... I do not see Trump spending time messing with the Bill of Rights except to strengthen them -such as the 4th. Amendment ...
Ailes worked for Nixon in ‘68 and throughout RMN’s presidency.
I wonder if Mr. Trump will handle Mexico this way and get them to pay for the wall.
Too late.
