Roger Ailes's tenure as the head of Fox News may be coming to an end.

Lachlan is more aligned with their father, who thinks that no action should be taken until after the GOP convention this week. Another source confirms that all three are in agreement that Ailes needs to go.

It seems in recent times that boards like to remove heads of companies by turning them into criminals. This is happening more and more. In the old days, they were just taken into the board room, given some money, and sent on their way.

They don’t want another Cosby drama. He’s been a good boy lately but apparently a sordid past that was in keeping with the industry of the era.

That's the problem with the TV biz today. Womens Lib made it impossible to score any hot babes anymore.

....Long past time for a new network...TrumpTV...

How much free air time has Trump received so far? A month or so ago it was worth 2 Billion.
‘Hillary has spent 100 million in the last month and cant pull ahead of Trump. It already is TrumpTV.

I thought that Roger Ailes had just had his contract renewed.

I doubt that after 20 years, FNC even needs Ailes after he helped get them off to such a good start. If they really need him in order to sustain their run, it will probably be obvious if they do get rid of him.
