This article appears to be closer to the truth of the matter, though (if one reads carefully) the author does not sound like any friend of Trump, Fox, or conservatives.
Thanks for the article. It was interesting, and probably some of it true. I loved the last lines in the article:
“to appease the conservative base — a.k.a. Fox viewers — Ailes has set a dangerous precedent. The message is clear: Fox reports, but the audience decides.”
A dangerous precedent on Ailes’ part. What a joke. of course the audience decides. Programs live and die by the ratings. Ailes knows that well; the author of this article, not so much.
