How Donald Trump and Fox News Went Back to War

From Gabriel Sherman writing for New York Magazine:

When it comes to dealing with rogue states, Fox News has a firm editorial philosophy: You don’t negotiate. Roger Ailes is learning that the same logic applies to a rogue candidate. .....

It’s now harder to see an end to the Trump-Fox war soon. As I reported this week, Trump’s poll numbers remain strong and he’s building a robust campaign operation, which is a threat to Ailes’s political project: “Roger says Trump is unelectable. His goal here is to save the country,” a source close to Ailes told me.

She needs to grow a pair and report on some real news not about herself.

Yep, I’ll be tuning in tomorrow to see how RL responds. He’s almost got to.

And the times just keep getting crazier, don’t they? Trump is showing some bad form here for a front runner. Ailes is over estimating how much conservatives care about Fox too. Steyn today was mostly pro Trump, but he said flatly he was no conservative and no Republican.

I’ve no idea where all this is heading.

Let me surmise that FAUX news is failing badly at supporting their liberal GOP-e. It is humiliating . Murdock is furious at Aisles RIGHT NOW. I think Ailes will “retire” before September 15. 24 Million!!! holy cow!! They are now in a panic meeting and Murdock is doing all the talking. First they need to get the Bimbo to apologize !! or else she is GONE. Roger needs to call Trump again and “get it right” or HE IS GONE. Faux is losing 1 million voters if they keep this republicrat crap up.
Kelly is a bimbo whore ,in my opinion. I will never watch her again. I am watching MSNBC right now!! Faux better get it right real quick!!.

Well, if Ailes and Co. had fought this hard against the Worst President in American History that would have been one thing. But they didn’t.

And now we know exactly where The Jeb News Network stands. It is as clear as day. Stuff it GOPe. And your bought and paid for cable “news” network too.

“Ailes’s political project”

If Ailes supports Rubio, and from their constant appearances on Fox it’s obvious Ailes loves McInsane and Grahamnesty, then his “political project” must be electing open borders neocons.

It’s hysterical watching Trump not just throw a wrench in the political field....but in the media field as well! NOBODY seems to know what to do about Trump...lololo....

God does work in mysterious ways ...and uses it ALL for his purposes.

Once again we all need to thank Donald Trump. In this case for making Ailes “come out of the closet” to attack him, because Trump is not his preferred RINO candidate.

And we should thank Mr. Trump, because were Ailes not attacking him in public, he would be attacking conservative candidates, and probably in private. The same kind of attacks, because Ailes does not want a conservative president. He wants a RINO who will continue with business as usual.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Is exactly what Ailes wants.

So every attack he makes against Trump he would otherwise be making against Cruz, or whatever conservative was popular.

Thank you, Mr. Donald Trump, for taking the heat. Win or lose, you are doing your country a big favor.

If your head news guy says he is going to stop Trump and save America, how can we trust any news coming from FOX knowing that?

You lost me, Ailes.

CNN showed Trump’s hour long speech tonight with no cuts and no commentary during the time Trump was speaking

That is powerful

Things are looking up
