I haven't heard anything from FNC. I hope they are not mad.
Tony still may have to defer to an official White House announcement.
1-If the contracts are not signed, then they probably have a non-disclosure covering negotiations, as FOX could put pressure on him negotiating out of his contract, for example.
2-It wouldn't look good from the rest-of-world perspective if it seemed like "Faux News" had installed "their guy" in the WH.
I don't think companies "get mad," anyway. Ailes will be glad, I would think......and it's only two years, max. So Tony can come back....fingers crossed.
Wasn't that his position from the very beginning?
If he took the job it would be announced by the WhiteHouse, not by the lamestream media or FoxNewsChannel.
