Timing is still in question

If accurate, this is the biggest media news in a long time.

Could it be that Murdoch has decided that Drumpf is a liability to the conservative movement and wants someone who will take him down?

Sacking him the day the conventions start is a hell of a job burying the news.

Can't wait for all the sleaze to ooze out of the woodwork.

I wonder if the armed guards will be able to drag Ailes out of his ninja proof bunker office.

This won't change a thing at Fox News, of course. Not with the Murdochs still in control.

Megyn Kelly has reportedly accused him of sexual harassment. Murdochs have apparently told Ailes to resign or be fired by Aug. 1.

I'd love to see him refuse to leave and have to be physically, forcibly removed.

Yeah. Getting good ratings gives you immunity from being a horrible creep to women in your charge. Although your apathy is unsurprising considering you're a middle aged man who likes to parade scantily clad girls half your age in your signature. Roger Ailes is probably a hero of yours.

This feels like the paedo coverup scandal at the BBC. Once the axe comes down so much more will undoubtedly come out.

It's also hilarious that Grumps thinks I give a sh*t about TV ratings. My experience with Berlusconi's Italy has long immunized me from that.

Hardly, a hero, but those who hate him have always hated him, long before any accusations surfaced.  That's my point  The guy is resoundingly hated worldwide by rival execs, lefties, those who think the right should not have a voice, etc.  At least now they have some reason to hang a lil hate on the guy.

Okay. I just don't see why that's relevant.

Oh, wow.  Ailes, Ailes, Ailes.  What were you thinking.

Maybe Murdoch just wanted to cut Ailes lose to neutralize Trump's leverage.
