Fox News civil war: O'Reilly tells Roger Ailes to back off

Gabriel Sherman of New York Magazine reports that the Fox press release suggesting 'Trump would replace Cabinet with Twitter followers' was '100% Roger'. Trump agreed “I don’t know what games Roger Ailes is playing"

... 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

Ailes has accused the Trump Campaign of 'terrorizing his employees'

'BillO' apparently isn't 'terrorized and "is defying the Boss's orders".

@O'ReillyFactor Trump not wanting to debate on Fox, but he'll talk to me tonight on The Factor. Biggest story in the country, we'll have it w/ no spin -BO’R

No Spin? Will they be nice to Roger? Agree that Bill is a first rate journalist? LOL

But oh no! Here comes Blotchy Bill O'Reilly out from under the ring. He's a got a steel folding chair! He's got a steel folding chair! Ailes is too engrossed in putting Trump out to notice! Blotchy Bill shoves the referee out of the way, but that tips off Ailes. He lets Trump go and catches O'Reilly at the top of his swing with the chair. Trump slumps to the mat while the other two struggle to control the chair! The referee's calling for the bell, but Blotchy Bill knocked out the ringside judge! It's pandemonium in the ring!
