Roger Ailes Nukes Trump: Attack on Megyn Kelly Is ‘Unacceptable’ and ‘Disturbing’
Daily Beast ^ | 8/25/15 | Lloyd Grove

Posted on 08/25/2015 10:14:13 AM PDT by jimbo123

Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes released a statement on Tuesday about Donald Trump's renewed war on host Megyn Kelly.

“Donald Trump's surprise and unprovoked attack on Megyn Kelly during her show last night is as unacceptable as it is disturbing. Megyn Kelly represents the very best of American journalism and all of us at FOX News Channel reject the crude and irresponsible attempts to suggest otherwise.”

-snip-

On Tuesday morning Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade fired back, saying Trump is "out of control." At least 10 separate Fox News personalities publically rebuked Trump before noon on Tuesday, evidence that no one is being told to be nice to Trump from the powers that be.

“‘Unacceptable’ and ‘Disturbing’”

I’m sure Ailes considers Trump the opposite of unacceptable and disturbing. “Disturbing” is a word used all too frequently by the nightly news anchors.

“I also feel sad about how many here have recklessly abandoned Fox News to the point of hate.”

They have earned the hatred.

Fox has become the enemy of American conservatives. They are globalist, Cheap Labor Express . Thank the owner, Murdoch. Fox employees are just doing his bidding.

If Ailes wants Trump to stop, he has to have his talent stop or at least handle issues professionally. Trump responds to attacks, it’s what he does.

If Kelly was a good journalist, we would be discussing the points made in the debate, not Kelly.

“...Megyn Kelly represents the very best of American journalism...”

I don’t care if it has already been posted or if anyone says its wrong - that statement is one enormous load of horsesh—.

Well, Roger, she doesn’t really represent what is best in American journalism - or, if she does, than the state of journalism is pretty low.

NONETHELESS, Trump has bigger fish to fry than her, and he should drop it.

Do you think that’s why he was so petulant and petty because the girl picked on him by asking him why he’s so vile when he attacks women he doesn’t like?

Trump expressed his opinion that her show was better without her. He responded to a few of the very very large number of social media posters who now call her a bimbo, but did not originate those tweets or that charge

That is an attack?

On a cutting edge “journalist”????

Boo Freaking Hoo

I know. We deplored Obama’s narcissism. Now, there are FReepers who think we need someone who is more vain and less dignified than Obama, and that takes a lot of crudeness.

I'd say just the opposite, they are given tacit instructions to bury Trump so they can get their boy Bush in.

No, they don’t.

Megyn is occupying space in Donny’s head rent-free.

Trump’s suffering from KDS...

Those two angry, bitter, low-class pigs have much to be jealous about when it comes to Megyn.
