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.

Most people need several drinks to get this obnoxious. So which is it? Does Trump have a problem with alcohol or is he this way all the time?

Disappointed in Brian and the others. Roger’s network is not immune to the criticism of Megyn. Megyn needs to apologize and end this. FOX can only lose along with Megyn. The natives are picking Trump, while FOX shouldn’t be picking sides. They should report the news.

Looks like the only thing relatively “controversial” is the bimbo retweet. Big deal. I retweet people all the time, not because I agree with them, but b/c I want my conservative followers to see what that particular idiot is saying and allow them to contribute.

No. Absolutely not.

We don’t need anyone who pushes back against media arrogance.

We need a nice, polite little boy like Baby Bush, from the Royal Family.

That way we can go on being polite losers, getting rolled by pretty much everyone from the Chinese Communists to the Mexican Narcoterrorists to the Neo-bolsheviks of the Democrat party.

Fox has always been left of center. Now it’s management is stupid as well.

Or he’s hitting back so hard other journalists will be afraid to challenge him.

Nothing worth mentioning. She IS a bimbo and Ailes is an A-hole. The Bush bots continued attacks on the one guy who can win the White House in order to keep RINOS on the ballot WILL assure another Marxist in Washington. But they don’t care.

Kelly was SURE that because of her witty and insightful verbal assault on Trump during the first debate, she would be hailed as the 'Trump Killer', the one who single-handidly slew the dragon, the one who made Trump quit.

Things don't always work out as planned.....sorry, Kelly.

Apparently she started it up again first. And it was a retweet on bimbo. Still, DT should control his Twitter habbit. He’s sending out these missiles at like 4 AM!

trump is taking a very calculated risk here creating a journalistic war with cino, Fox. there’s definitely a large up side for him in keeping it going with Fox. gotta hand it to him. he knows how to manipulate the manipulators.

Push back? Yes, by all means! It’s long overdue. But how about some class? For example, Churchill knew how to insult someone, he was absolutely deadly. But he did it with a little class.

Hmmm, considering that Rupert Murdoch’s net worth is about 3-4x Trump’s, and Murdoch holds an extensive portfolio of media outlets, I think this is one battle Trump might not want to pick....

Fox practices “Sensationalism in journalism”. They have from the beginning. All this “Kelly vs Trump” is just part of the game.

When I see Kelly, a long list of words pops into my head. Bimbo is near the top and journalist isn’t on the list.

per the establishment news agencies. What ever happened to the Fox News motto of WE report, you decide? Fox News is just like the rest of the propaganda machine networks. Next thing you know the US government will start censoring the internet news orgs. Oh wait, that's right, the UN is slated to take control of the WWW Internet?

Escalation!

To the extent people become informed of the details, the claim of "unprovoked" is not as rock-solid as Foxnews thinks.
