Bill O’Reilly defies Roger Ailes to interview Donald Trump as Fox News debate drama intensifies
Source: Salon
“I don’t know what games Roger Ailes is playing,” an enraged Donald Trump said at a Tuesday night press conference announcing his planned boycott of this week’s upcoming Fox News republican presidential debate after the power cable news boss signed-off on a snarky press release mocking Trump’s complaints.
“That was Roger 100 percent,” an unnamed source tells Fox News observer and New York Magazine reporter Gabriel Sherman.
“Who would ever say something so nasty and dumb?” Trump asked on Tuesday, dumbfounded that the network that had once hosted him for weekly “Fox & Friends” segments had finally turned to releasing a press statement joking that “a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to” meet with Putin and the Ayatollah as president.
Well, according to both Sherman’s reporting and reporting by CNN’s Brian Stelter, Ailes did indeed approve of the network’s diss. In fact, Ailes has cooled off his past relationship with Trump so much that Sherman reports “last night, Ailes directed Sean Hannity to cancel Trump’s [scheduled] interview.”
