It does not seem that Murdoch has involved himself in this situation yet, but should be be forced to step in and take over it could mean trouble for Ailes according to Sherman.

'The CEO earned Murdoch's trust because Fox generates $1 billion in profit, but also because he was always in control. But in recent months Murdoch has been attending news meetings at Fox in the wake of a health scare that forced Ailes to take an extended leave of absence,' writes Sherman.

'Succession planning at Fox is very much on Murdoch's agenda. If Ailes loses his grip on the Trump situation - and right now it looks like he is - Murdoch will have another reason to worry about the stability of his most valuable asset.'

I don’t think removing Megyn is a winning situation for Trump. It will appear to women to be a bullying technique, when in fact, Megyn was setting him up for an ambush.

I do believe that BIMBO accusation needs to be BANNED...

That is slander, and if anyone has FIRST HAND PROOF that she is. GIVE US proof of your first hand experience with her. Or Zip it.

Like Megan or not......., leave that subject it alone.

That talk is shades of the Clinton's and their Bimbo eruption practices......how many lives have to be sacrificed to satisfy the likes of the Clintons or now even Trump?

trying to privately plead with Trump the best way they know how - through the women in his life

But...but... Megyn and Fox keep telling us that Trump HATES women, so why would he listen to them? Doesn't Ailes have the balls to try and talk to Trump himself directly?

LOL That’s hilarious.

Trump is bringing the media to heel For. The. Win. Who hasn’t yearned for that?
And this is just a bonus.

Think Cruz can do that? Rubio? Jebito? Carson? MAYBE. Nobody else.
Still think Trump won’t do what he says he will do? Hide & watch.

And in a stunning coup nobody saw coming, after firing Ailes, Murdock hired Rachael Maddow as the new Fox News director ...

Has anyone heard if any of the other networks are going to carry Trump’s town hall? If so I’ll be tuning in...even if it’s MSNBC.

Murdoch is not being shy about chasing someone to join the debate on Thursday, but it is not Trump and rather Michael Bloomberg who he hopes will join the other contenders on stage.

He wrote on Twitter Wednesday; 'This is Bloomberg's last chance. You never know until your hat is in the ring! Events change everything, especially during elections.'

If this is true, all the other candidates should boycott. Bloomberg?

Look everyone needs to calm down, Fox is just following the normal plan which other networks use when holding a Democratic debate. They ridicule the leading candidate and invite outside advocates who work against the leading candidate to ask questions...............

OOPS, Never mind.........

I don’t understand why Fox would undermine the leading Republican candidate. It’s beyond stupid. They should have worked this out months ago.

Like Sands Through the Hourglass....

It’s a soap opera.

Feminization of the whole election process. Tantrums and psychodrama.

I admit I do not know Trump’ strategerie but I would think participating would be win-win for The Donald. Either she asks decent questions and he claims credit for forcing the change or she gets nasti with The Donald and he channels Ronnie with a “there she goes again” comeback.

Yeh and ditch the Muslim and Mexican sympathizers they have hired to ambush Trump at the debate. Trump is nuts if he attends this debacle.

Good. If Trump skips the “debate”, so will I. I’d rather not watch these Leftist-media-driven Q&A sessions (with Leftist views often contained in the question). They’re obnoxious. The only reason I watch is to see Trump do his stuff.

Well its Noon. I predicted last night that by Noon today Roger Ailes would be peeing his pants. The advertisers are going to be calling him and saying WTF? :-)

Fox should apologise for that ridiculous, trolling statement they issued before Trump announced he was not attending. They shouldn't apologise for Kelly, and if he refuses to attend, them's the breaks.

I personally can't wait to see the gleeful awkwardness from JEB! As he seizes on Trump's absence to attack him. Too clueless to recognize that the smartest thing to do is not mention him at all.

Calling his wife and daughter bespeaks where they all are at.

Ailes can do this because they all know each other. They are all friends. They are all in each other’s phones.

They all are socialites who attend each other’s cocktail parties, and cotillions, and charity galas.

And they do a lot of things together we normal people don’t get to see or know of.

They all live in the global elite clique, dependent and intertwined with the global financing institution like Deutsche Bank and Soros Hedge funds etc...

Megyn Kelly is just an employee, talent.

Trump isn’t even all that high up the totem pole and isn’t all that much more than talent anymore.
