Fox News Channel president Roger Ailes says all is well between himself and Donald Trump after the real estate mogul spent days lambasting the network and anchor Megyn Kelly for the questions he received at the first Republican debate.
Ailes said in a memo obtained by CNN that he had a “blunt but cordial” conversation with Trump on Monday.
"Donald Trump and I spoke today," Ailes said in the statement. "We discussed our concerns, and I again expressed my confidence in Megyn Kelly. She is a brilliant journalist and I support her 100 percent."
“I assured him that we will continue to cover this campaign with fairness & balance,” Ailes continued. “We had a blunt but cordial conversation and the air has been cleared."
The memo is in line with a tweet Trump sent out earlier in the day saying he and Ailes had smoothed things over.

“I assured him that we will continue to cover this campaign with fairness & balance,” Ailes continued. So Ailes thinks the moderators were fair and balanced.

"Donald Trump and I spoke today," Ailes said in the statement. “We had a blunt but cordial conversation and the air has been cleared." Translation: Ailes bailed on Hillary, and Trump laughed in his face.

I think Hugh Hewitt has the next one. He has a second, I don’t know who.

Let the other side walk away thinking they won too.

Blunt but cordial, eh? I imagine that Trump unloaded on Ailes, and then reloaded and fired again.

Roger is under orders by his new boss James Murdoch (and Kathyrn Murdoch) to get Hillary elected at all cost.

Yes.
This says Kelly is gone in 30-60 days max.

Nothing fixed until Kelly clearly apologizes or is fired. I will skip her program.

The idea that there was any disagreement between Ailes/Fox and Trump is a sham. They both helped each other in the debate.

Most likely Ailes didn’t want to see his ratings plummet.
