QuoteThere's speculation as to why, but this recent excerpt from Sunday's New York Magazine article on Trump's unorthodox campaign will likely add fuel to an already raging fire.
According to writer, Gabriel Sherman, Trump did some intelligence gathering prior to the election that helped his shape his campaign strategy. One of the bits of intelligence he stumbled upon, came to him in 2014, when Sherman published a book on Fox News CEO, Roger Ailes. The biography upset Ailes, and as a result, he fired his PR advisor, Brian Lewis, as Ailes believed that Lewis was the Sherman's leak.
Lewis hired a "powerhouse" litigator by the name of Judd Bernstein, and claimed that he had information on Ailes that would destroy he and Fox News. As Sherman writes, "that's when Trump got involved."
And then he got together with Bill Clinton.....
I don't think Trump has all this hidden information that he keeps hinting about. I mean after all, he's supposed to have greater sources than the guy who owns Fox - Rupert Murdock? A man who incidentally is a valid billionaire. I think they're a media business, that saw a valid ratings bonanza - a bonanza that was being exploited by their ratings rivals - and couldn't allow the opportunity to pass them by. And then there are the Sean Hannities of Fox who are desperate for any kind of "conservative" victory. In any case, this whole affair simply show's something I've always said; FOX isn't really conservative, they were reasonable fair so they simply seemed conservative in relation to the Left Loon channels out there.

Nailed it. By being "fair and Balanced" they stand out from all the leftist propaganda news outlets. Murdoch gets credit for filling a huge void.
