upert Murdoch wants his top executive at Fox News to rein in the network's coverage of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, but the executive has so far refused to comply, according to a report published Wednesday.
Gabe Sherman of New York magazine quoted an anonymous source who said that Murdoch has tried to get Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes to have the conservative news channel "back off the Trump coverage."
The channel has covered Trump more than any other presidential candidate in the 2016 race, according to the report. And Murdoch has not hesitated to voice his dislike of the current GOP frontrunner.
Murdoch took to Twitter over the weekend to criticize the comments Trump has made so far in his campaign.
Murdoch has privately described Trump as a "phony," according to a New York Times report detailing their relationship.
Sherman's insiders reportedly said Ailes told Murdoch he was covering Trump "the way he wanted to."

Bush, Murdoch, Jarrett.
MEMO TO MR. MURDOCH: Speech on the airwaves is supposed to be free. The system works best without an owners personal censorship.
I guess Fox News wants Jeb Bush to have more coverage???
++++
I think that’s right.
Fox is my primary TV news source. But I never watch it real time. I have DirecTV and their system includes a 90 minute buffer, a “Skip 30 Seconds” button and a Fast Forward and Fast Rewind button.
So I skip the commercials on Fox News. I don’t watch any of them..
I also skip anything that features Jeb, Huckster, Rubio, Krispie, Paul, Carson or Perry. For me it’s Cruz, Walker and Trump who have something to say. The rest are waste of time.
Wow this picture is certainly worth a 1000 words....
And Fox News is bringing a knife to this gunfight.
MEMO TO MR. MURDOCH: Speech on the airwaves is supposed to be free. The system works best without an owners personal censorship.
By all means Rupert! Let’s dump Trump and give Rick Santorum and Lindsey Graham more airtime. They’re the dynamic duo of political excitement!!!
Our news outlets have been controlled since JP Morgan invested in the top 6 APs in 1916 or so to place his mouthpieces so as to control the perceptions of the masses. They took control over publishing agencies and the universities (top ones first) and then gradually gained control of all information the children were fed with Jimmy Carter.
Ray Bradbury stated decades ago, that the only reason for MSM was to create addicts and to keep them from knowing the Truth. Solzhenitsyn warned us in his Harvard Commencement speech of 78 that our “free press” was as bad as Pravda’s—only it was believed by all the useful idiots. We trusted ole Walter C. and Dan Rather who were feeding us the elitist worldview for their agenda which is always to move us into complete slavery where they can control us totally.
Controlling Words and Language will control the emotions of the masses. The internet is the ONLY thing that has been SAVING us.....otherwise, we would be believing every single word out of Lyin’ Brian’s mouth. Look how mature “masculine” males fall over stating Jenner is a “She”-—they are totally insane—like Fichte stated in 1810 would be the result of public “schools” which would make the children so irrational they would believe “snow is black”. (Have to ditch Reason and Logic for man to accept “happy slavery”.) (Slavery is Freedom, Boys are Girls, Vice is Virtue).
Truth will set us Free——and it is VERY rare in MSM-—even on Fox “News”. They control words/ideas also-—only they are part of the Dialectic (opposite for the synthesis)......I quit watching O’R when he stated “French Youths” instead of Muslim youths, and knew he was totally controlled -—10 years ago. We just see a “Dog and Pony” show to keep us from Revolution.....just Bread and Circuses until Virtue is completely destroyed in our children so culture will collapse and the elites can takeover everything-—whoops-—they almost achieved their goals-—healthcare/Common Core/Children/MSM——internet is next.....
One word works for me..collusion!
Fox is a phony conservative network.
The internet will survive.
Why did you source this as “Fox News”?? The link is to TPM.
Title should read "FR's MinuteGal Wants Freepers to Back Off Their Fox Viewership"
There, fixed it!
Two can play at Herr Rupert's insidious little censorship game.

This article is poorly sourced gossip.
I think Lindsey Graham needs more cowbell.
They remind me of the typical department in some university. A kissy-kissy club of insiders, each of whom knows how to not rock the boat and ride the gravy train.
Newcomers and out-of-the-box thinkers are emphatically not welcome.
For me its Cruz, Walker and Trump who have something to say. The rest are waste of time.

My two choices are Cruz and Trump. However, I’ve seen very little coverage of Carly Fiorina. A few people have been asking me what I think of her. All of them are impressed with her. The latest was my brother, who called me today, and who has seen some coverage of her where he lives in the Houston area. He said: “Now, there’s a lady who has her sh** together.” He was speaking primarily in comparison of Carly and Hillary. I wish we could hear more from her. She has attacked Hillary Clinton unmercifully with no backing down. Wish the men who are running has the ba**s she’s got.
