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.

This is Gabriel Sherman. I can almost guarantee it’s bullsh*t.

His goal is not to save the country - that’s the candidates’ job. His job is to report the news, put some clothes on his slutty-looking anchorettes and shut the hell up.

“Roger says Trump is unelectable. His goal here is to save the country,”

Oh ok. So that’s what the news agencies do. Dan Rather was quite good at it.

Have you listened to Mark Steyn on Rush the past two days? Exactly what you said, except funnier (it is Mark after all) and angrier. Fantastic job.

Amen. I never let anyone determine who I voted for anyway but I know what you’re saying.

I had to have surgery on my nose for holding so much.

And to think Ailes was key in the start of Rush.

Pop-up for voting for president on link. Results:

Trump 37%
Cruz 28%
Carson 9%
Fiorina 5%
Paul 5%

That means the other 12 candidates split 16%. Pretty interesting that Jeb! can’t even get to the 5% threshold. Wonder how long they will continue to lose supporters and $ before they throw in the towel?

Dear Roger, that is not your job, not as the CEO of FOX News.

Save the country from Trump?

I think he means save the Establishment from Trump ending their gravy train party.

Right now I've got my TV tuned to, uh, "a competitive cable news network".

Not that I like them...

Trump IT ON! Fox was and of course been my source of cable news BUT,I also enjoy the Internet,got my parents on DRUDGE as they got me years ago on talk radio with Rush and of course Mark Levin! We are just fine! Fox has eroded to Geraldo,Meg/anyone blond!(No offense to blondes,have two blondies as daughters!) We all are disgusted with so-called conservative minded pundits, George Wills, Krathammner! So sick of Fox Period! Bill O is the worse..all about me as is the Megayn! (my posts are too long,will one day get to a one liner!) maybe
