Roger Ailes Widow Rips Murdoch Apart Over Fox News, Trump Agrees, Sideswipes DeSantis
Elizabeth Ailes, the widow of Roger Ailes, memorialized her late husband by ripping into Fox News for what the network became under Rupert Murdoch after its former chairman and CEO was pushed out of the job.
Ailes took to Twitter on Monday to wish her late husband a “Happy heavenly birthday” and used the opportunity to bash the performance of her husband’s replacement.
“Happy Heavenly Birthday Roger Ailes. It took you 20 years to build Fox News into the powerhouse that it was and only 6 years for the Murdochs to wreak havoc. Rupert thought he could do your job. What a joke. He has the checkbook but could never come close to your genius. RIP.”
Several observers on Twitter echoed the sentiment, expressing their dissatisfaction at the News conglomerate’s recent decisions.
“It’s sad and I miss my Gutfeld like crazy I don’t believe in censorship getting rid of Carlson, was the last straw for me so I can’t be part of their viewing audience anymore”

“Hater’s gonna hate. Mr Ailes was indeed a visionary genius, Fox is unfortunately a neuters hollow shell of what it was. There is no ‘equal time’ on cable or network TV anymore. Without Roger, and Rush, we are moving to social media, but it’s a great time to do so!“

Haters gonna hate. Still can't deny the fact that Fox did MUCH better under Ailes' leadership than this current one.

As is evident from the responses, while running Fox News, Ailes was a titanic figure whose vision shaped the political landscape and the modern format of cable news television. However, he was ousted from Fox in 2016 when Gretchen Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and other women on the network came forth and accused him of sexual harassment.
However, Ailes is not the only source of grief for the Murdochs. Former President Donald Trump has also spoken out emphatically against Fox News leadership. In a recent Truth Social post, Trump attacked the corporation for ousting Tucker Carlson and accused them of carrying water for Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who’s expected to announce his 2024 presidential run soon.
“Fox News is way down in the Ratings. After firing Tucker Carlson and refusing to fight against a VERY Corrupt and Rigged 2020 Presidential Election, which just cost them plenty of money, prestige, and RATINGS, they are a far cry from what they used to be. FoxNews has become the DeSanctimonious Network, but it will never work because he doesn’t have the goods. Without my Endorsement, he was a dead man walking. Even with Fox, he’s already pretty close to that again!”

Trump attacked Murdoch in a different Truth social post, slamming him for his statements during a deposition in Dominion’s recent lawsuit against Fox.
“Why is Rupert Murdoch throwing his anchors under the table, which also happens to be killing his case and infuriating his viewers, who will be leaving in droves – they already are.” Trump wrote.”There is MASSIVE evidence of voter fraud & irregularities in the 2020 Presidential Election. Just look at the documentary “2000 Mules” and you will see large-scale ballot stuffing caught on government cameras, or votes cast without Legislatures approval, or just recently, the FBI/Twitter files scandal. RIGGED!!!”
