Conservative Treehouse:
A recent article written by Roger Ailes confidant Michael Wolff affirms one of the more transparently obvious hidden secrets in the 2015/2016 presidential race and election.
Fox News owner/mogul Rupert Murdoch was intensely against the candidacy of Donald Trump. So much so that Murdoch instructed former President of Fox News, Roger Ailes, to shape favorable coverage toward anyone other than Donald Trump, including a request to tilt toward support for Hillary Clinton.
New York – […] It was Ailes’ tacit support of Trump that, in part, made his removal from Fox all the more urgent for the Murdochs. And it was not just the liberal sons who were agitated by Ailes’ regard for Trump, but also the father, whose tabloid, the New York Post, helped create Trump, but who found him now, with great snobbery, not of “our” conservative class. (“When is Donald Trump going to stop embarrassing his friends, let alone the whole country?” Murdoch senior tweeted the day after Trump officially declared himself a candidate.)
Murdoch instructed Ailes to tilt to anyone but Trump, Ailes confided to me before he was fired, even Hillary. (Ailes, for his part, characterized Murdoch’s periodic efforts at interference as similar to Nixon’s instructions to bomb this or that country — best ignored.)

Generally speaking, we love the Australian people, but could you keep the assholes at home?
Dead Whore Media. We have better things to do with our time.
Let the cancer begin.
Huh. Never would’ve imagined that…
As if Shep Smith needed any prodding. (No double entendres intended)
Can’t they be sued for calling it news?
And they wonder why that dude Maddow is beating them in the ratings.
Now poor Rupert (his parents obviously hated him) has to cover him every day! 🤣
Both Murdoch sons are married to Communist girls. Marxists groups have seen the United States as “The Great Prize” since the turn of the 20th century. The question now is, will future generations fight for this nation?
President Trump has stated that Fox was usually fair—imagine how bad all the others were and are.
If nothing else, now you know not even Fox News can be trusted. Do you think this directive has changed now that PRESIDENT TRUMP is in office?
Looking for something to happen to Hannity and Dobbs. Varney is already drinking the cool-aid.
It sounds like Ailes ignored Murdoch decree and that’s what really got him fired. I’m surprised and a little disappointed that some of the Fox Hosts didn’t walk upon hearing that (and I’m sure they would have) Murdoch interfered with an election. Maybe Mueller is investigating the wrong group. I wish there were another broadcaster out there that would report the news without any spin in either direction.
They were never “FAIR AND BALANCED” How about “crooked and corrupt” ?
That explains megyn kelly and chris wallace’s vitriol!
🚨 THERE IS NOTHING TRUMP CAN DO…..🚨
…in which I would disavow him. The only thing he could do is TIE the democrats in indecency, not exceed it.
💩 Before he enters Air Force 1 and waves to reporters, he could pull his pants down, take a dump in his hands and throw it at the press corps, and I would applaud him for his accuracy. 💩
@meyou: That is the million dollar question!
Zelda says, “It’s a secret to everyone.”
Look at the “high” ratings he left as a legacy
