Hit piece.

Examples (Plus some groveling by Ailes):

Donald Trump, who has the full backing of Fox's b misogynist b audience
Trump's full-throated attack on Kelly
According to one high-level source, Kelly has told Fox producers that she’s been getting death threats from Trump supporters.
Trump barnstormed rival media outlets over the last few days, dissing Kelly and Fox at virtually every turn
Paralyzed by the volume of pro-Trump emails from Fox's loyal viewers, Ailes's only statement, released a day after the debate, said that he was "extremely proud of all of the moderators."
Since Trump’s "blood" comment on Friday, some Fox executives have wanted Ailes to personally call Trump and broker a truce. But, according to a Fox source, Ailes and his lawyer Peter Johnson Jr. felt that calling Trump was a risk they couldn't take, given Trump's erratic behavior on the campaign trail. What if Trump leaked the conversation on Twitter like he did with Lindsey Graham's cell-phone number? (When reached by email about this story, Johnson responded: "The reporting is false and obviously fabricated.")
Trump told Sean Hannity in a weekend phone call that he was 'never doing Fox again," appeared on four non-Fox public-affairs shows on Sunday, and did interviews with Today and Morning Joe on Monday, Ailes raised the white flag and picked up the phone on Monday morning. "Roger wanted a friendly relationship," the source explained.
Ailes's next order of business was getting Trump to disarm publicly. According to a source briefed on the negotiations, Ailes called Trump "multiple" times yesterday morning "begging" him to tweet out that they had made peace. Trump refused at first, but finally consented. "Roger Ailes just called," he tweeted at 10:35 a.m. yesterday. "He is a great guy & assures me that 'Trump' will be treated fairly on ‪FoxNews. His word is always good
Last night, Ailes put his own spin on it and released a statement. "We had a blunt but cordial conversation and the air has been cleared," he said, adding that Kelly is a "brilliant journalist." For her part, Kelly addressed the controversy only briefly on her show, saying simply: "I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism."
Trump returned...on Fox and Friends. “I'm glad we’re friends again," co-host Steve Doocy said at the opening of the segment. "We’ve always been friends," Trump replied, disingenuously.
Ailes has set a dangerous precedent. The message is clear: Fox reports, but the audience decides.

"Fox reports, but the audience decides."

Maybe they will pretend to honor their slogan, "we report, you decide."LOL won't last...they have lost control, but will slide back into their Standard Operating Procedures when they feel the cost is clear.
