![]() ![]() Gabriel Sherman, whom Slate describes as "the nation's foremost Fox News beat reporter," yesterday told Slate: "James Murdoch is, by my reporting, extremely turned off and horrified by the concept of a Trump presidency, and he sees the politics of the right-wing populism fueled by Fox News as a catalyst that allowed Trump to become the Republican nominee. He's been wanting to get Ailes out." Gretchen Carlson's post-firing "sexual harassment" suit was the perfect excuse. Ailes, despite supporting Megyn Kelly, is said to be friends with Trump and talk to him regularly.
