“As the war between Fox News and Donald Trump ratchets up, Roger Ailes is fighting off criticism from his senior executives over his handling of the crisis. According to one highly placed source, last night, Ailes sent out the now-famous statement mocking Trump as being scared to meet with the ‘Ayatollah’ and ‘Putin’ if he became president,” New York Magazine reports.
Said a source: “That was Roger 100 percent. A lot of people on the second floor didn’t think it was a good idea.”
Los Angeles Times: “The statement was seen as unorthodox for a news executive and raised questions about the network’s impartiality in its Trump coverage going forward.”
