Heard of Matthew Freud?

Freud: I am by no means alone within the family or the company in being ashamed and sickened by Roger Ailes’s horrendous and sustained disregard of the journalistic standards that News Corporation, its founder and every other global media business aspires to.

Matthew Freud is the husband of Rupert Murdoch’s daughter, Elisabeth. And Elisabeth is an Obama supporter.

Mike Papantonio was on Big Ed's radio show discussing the likelihood of Elisabeth and Matthew taking over Fox News in the event Rupert is forced out.

could get interesting, folks :)

3. Sounds like bullshit to me--"Jornalistic standards?" NewsCorp has never had any of those.

And if he's anything like his gramps, he's got other issues, too!

Sounds like he's trying to staunch the flow of blood to keep the concern viable, so he can enjoy the profits....

4. I heard that too.

It was very encouraging if true. It seems that Rupert and his son James are the rotten core of the Murdock family. Murdock's daughter and her husband were pushed out at one point over a conflict with Ailes. Others have said that she is the smart one in the family and that James (a college dropout)is most like Rupert. According to Papantonio FOX News was always Rupert's pet project. His daughter again according to Papantonio thinks FOX is damaging the brand. They believe that FOX news does not need to be a right wing propaganda mill to succeed and would prefer it become an actual news organization.
