The Fox News Channel’s top executive, Roger Ailes, is “furious” at the National Review’s editor Rich Lowry for using foul language in an attack on GOP frontrunner billionaire Donald Trump on Wednesday evening, Breitbart News has learned. An individual with knowledge of these matters told Breitbart News that Ailes is “furious” at Lowry for saying on Megyn Kelly’s program The Kelly File on Wednesday that former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina “cut [Trump’s] balls off with the precision of a surgeon, and he knows it, he knows it.” Ailes is mad at Lowry because this move means, in the ongoing war between Fox News and Trump, Fox News has now “given up the moral high ground.” Essentially, Ailes understands, that means his network looks like the unfair aggressor that Trump has accused it of being—rather than a neutral arbiter of the news—all while Trump continues soaring in the 2016 GOP primary polls. New York Magazine’s Gabe Sherman, the author of an anti-Ailes book, wrote on Thursday that the war between Trump and Fox News won’t end anytime soon. “By now it should be clear to both sides of the Donald Trump–Fox News war that there never was — nor will there likely be — an enduring truce,” Sherman wrote. Sherman’s piece came in response to the latest development, from Ailes, that Ailes has—after Trump decided that for now he will boycott Fox News shows in response to negative coverage of his presidential campaign—planned a meeting with Trump to discuss Fox’s coverage of him.

Ailed and Lowry deserve each other
I don’t see a problem with the “balls” comment, but Trump will play it hard if he wants to.
Fox wouldn’t have any problems if it was truly just “fair, and balanced.”
Lowry isn’t fit to wash Trump’s underwear.
Lowry is sucking up to Murdoch. Because The Donald’s daughter Ivanka stood by Rupert’s ex wife Wendy at the time of the divorce. Ailes has marching orders. Lowry is playing to Murdock. From what I have seen of Ivanka, she is a class act who stands by her friends. Her daddy raised her well
True that.
Lowry has no room, whatsoever, to be talking about things he doesn't have. This is one area he had absolutely NO business stepping in. He'll rue the day.
Megan Kelley knew what he was going to say - guaranteed. I’m sure she got a more than a little turned on by the “balls” reference
I’m anti-Fox and anti-Megyn right now, but I don’t see how Lowry was speaking on behalf of Fox with his low-ball comment (pardon the pun).
However, I’m glad Ailes realizes that if you’re gonna play with bombthrowers, you’re probably gonna get blow’d up real good yourself.
I cannot wait until we have decent people back in the White House. OMG. What grafter affirmative action losers are there now
Megyn blushed, but managed to put up a weak protest after the fact. “You can’t say that!” Actually, I’m glad Lowry said it. Time to give certain parties a taste of their own nasty medicine, & see how they like it.
Why doesn’t NRO fire Lowry for disgracing them, as he did John Derbyshire for merely telling uncomfortable truths about race?

You should have seen Lowry’s twitter feed after the show. He was retweeting all his GOPe media buddies at-a-boy tweets, as if he was a conquering hero.
These people are no different then the liberal media, just protecting different special interests. Just smug, snarky elitists.
Reading them convinced me more than ever that it’s Trump or stay home.
FU Rick Head
Even if she could cut his balls off, he still has a 3rd one
A certain business channel has an interesting poll that seems to say that one of the outsider candidates has a very good chance to become the next POTUS because 72% of Americans feel that America is no longer great.
Hmm, Lowry must be looking for a new project after running Buckley’s legacy into the ground.
Works for me
Hey! I ended up on Twitchy for saying “Lowry isn’t man enough to threaten to cut Hillary’s balls off!”
Plus a lot more. Here is quite a discussion I set off. Maybe it should be posted by someone into doing posts. Interesting comments.
