Bitter Truce Fox News Ailes FURIOUS at NR's Lowry for Forcing Fox to Cede Moral High Ground to Trump
BREITBART BIG GOVERNMENT ^ | 24 Sep 2015 (related to current events) | MATTHEW BOYLE

Ailes is mad at Lowry because this move means, in the ongoing war between Fox News and Trump, Fox News has now "given up the moral high ground." Essentially, Ailes understands, that means his network looks like the unfair aggressor that Trump has accused it of being -rather than a neutral arbiter of the news - all while Trump continues soaring in the 2016 GOP primary polls.

But on Wednesday evening, Lowry appearing on Kelly's program compromised Fox's position in the war by veering down a vulgar path in his attack on Trump. Even Kelly, who also dislikes Trump, clearly was shocked at what Lowry said live on air, reacting "What did you just say? You can't say that!"

Fox has not officially announced that they have reprimanded Lowry, and there are no media reports of that at this time.

My thoughts too. I was thinking of going into the subject, but you put it succinctly. Megyn Kelly is a henzer who has used her good looks to climb to the top.

Maybe Ailes and Murdoch now want some of the action after hearing how successful Brit was.

They better be into Eproctophilia then.
Here's Megyn doing her infamous "one cheek sneak",
which typifies her foul and offensive reporting style:

Mr. Miller my FRiend, attempting to engage a squawking
parrot is a futile exercise, however I admire your 'salmon'
analogy. Nicely done.

Meanwhile don't forget to feed Polly:

Airtime is valuable regardless of financial compensation, but you’re probably right regarding the commercial aspects.

No reliable source has ever verified this claim. It was a Daily Kos hit piece. Is this really where FReepers are going now?

Kim Schiller Hume and Brit Hume are still married. The claim that he and Megyn Kelly were having an affair is a vicious lie started by Daily Kos. No reputable source has ever confirmed this story.

Like the supposed stories about his son Sandy, there isn't the slightest reason to believe it's true.

Is this how low Free Republic has sunk now?

Love Trump’s hair there and Jeb looks just as dumb and shifty as he comes off all the time.

MK is perfectly-rendered, as well.

They are good buds from way back, so don’t expect any real vetting or serious questioning from her.

As a loyal Cruz supporter who has watched the total sellout of Fox News in their efforts to ruin both Trump and Cruz I have to say to Roger Ailes that it is time take a long, long look in the Fox Mirror. It is not a pretty picture.

Despite the election year, a year when I would normally be glued to Fox News, I find myself basically ignoring them these days. What good is a news organization where the vision of the even the visionary Krauthammer was unable to detect what was obvious to the majority of Freepers months ago - namely that Trump was going to be a big deal and Cruz would likely emerge as his major challenger.

Enough of this Fox News. We knew you when you were good, maybe great. That’s gone, perhaps forever.
