[font size=5]Fox News as we know it may be screwed: Roger Ailes’ stunning rebuke could spell the end
With Rupert Murdoch stepping aside, Roger Ailes will now report to Murdoch's Fox-hating sons[/font]

Sophia Tesfaye

After reports surfaced that Rupert Murdoch planned to step down as head of media giant 21st Century Fox, many were left to wonder where the shakeup would leave Fox News Channel and its longtime head, Roger Ailes. ....

...It seemed like a bad omen for the right-wing network: Murdoch’s sons reportedly detest it. ....

But Ailes, the evil genius behind Fox News, was said to be left unaffected by the change, somehow managing to continue to report to Murdoch directly despite his impending departure.

Well, who said that? Fox News, of course: ....

The Fox boss now has to report to Murdoch's children, both of whom he has sparred with in the past and who have reportedly signaled their distaste for Ailes' brand of toxic programming.

<snip>

"For Ailes, it was a stinging smack-down and effectively a demotion," wrote Ailes biographer Gabriel Sherman in New York. "Roger Ailes Burned By Murdoch Sons In Fox News Power Shift," read the Talking Points Memo headline.

Ailes and Murdoch's children have battled on and off for years and the notion that Ailes will continue to enjoy unfettered control of the Fox domain seems remote.

James and Lachlan Murdoch run in different circles than Rupert. Fox News is an embarrassment to them. Ailes being a grade A asshole doesn't help. Imagine trying to get your groove on in Paris a people keep bugging you about your clown network with the "no go zones". Next thing you know you're on the cover of Charlie Hebdo sucking Sheldon Adelson's d*ck. To them Fox News as it is is more trouble than it's worth. Rupert and Ailes are from a different generation. Their era is over.
