Murdoch son-in-law â��ashamed and sickenedâ�� by Fox News CEO

The son-in-law of News Corporation Chairman Rupert Murdoch told the New York Times in little-noticed comments Sunday that he's "ashamed and sickened" by Fox News Channel's Chief Executive Roger Ailes.

“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,” said Matthew Freud, married to Rupert Murdoch's daughter and recently labeled the most influential PR executive in London.

Rupert Murdoch, News Corporation's chairman and politically engaged chairman, didn't respond directly to the remarks. But a spokesman for the company put out a statement after a Financial Times inquiry, saying Murdoch was actually "proud" of Ailes.

“Matthew Freud’s opinions are his own and in no way reflect the views of Rupert Murdoch, who is proud of Roger Ailes and Fox News,” the statement said.

Murdoch has reportedly privately voiced concerns with Ailes before. A 2008 biography said he was purportedly “embarrassed” by Fox News, a claim he later denied.

BTW, this story was a waste of time. Someone is always making something out of nothing when it comes to Fox since they are so threatened by their success. Whatever.. don't give a darn. ..and how dare they say ANYTHING negative about Obama. He is too afraid himself to answer their questions.

This is Murdoch's FAMILY talking. (sm) - Nikki

And if Obama is afraid to answer questions, as you allege, then I guess it's okay that Faux News just invents the answers, whether they're accurate or not?

It's FOX News, get it right. And you know, I do not - like MSNBC or even CNN, but

I would not make fun and constantly slander them the way you guys do Fox. Fox actually has regular news hours. For example, Shepard Smith from 3 to 4pm. He is a liberal, has stated that, yet he is on Fox and does give his own opinion at times. So, please, you dont like them? fine.. but they are a news channel that millions choose to watch. They are here to stay.. they are real. Just please get over it. Yes, Hannity, Beck, obviously righties, so dont watch them.

Look's like the good ole cash cow is encircled by wagons - TXMT

Matthew Freud, Elisabeth Murdock Freud, Lachian Murdock and James Murdoch. Could be just a matter of time before they restore truth to that tattered and tarnished "Fair and Balanced Reporting" slogan. Here's hoping we both live to see the day. In the words of the late, great John Lennon, IMAGINE, a Fox-free world. Put's a smile on my face and makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

But its fine to have every other network left-wing - biased? SO hypocritical!

But I would not expect anything different from you. FOX WILL LIVE ON ! Sorry, but they are not going anywhere. I am so happy to have a network who gives the other side. So, you have no problem with freedom of speech as long as it agrees with you. How sad.

Ummmm....left-wing bias you say? - TXMT

I know this will come as a shock to you but, with the exception of MSNBC primetime, network TV or cable is not where progressive left-wingers go for their news. We have to resort to radio...folks like Amy Goodman on Pacifica come to mind. We also scour international news sources for comprehensive alternative points-of-view that explore the realms beyond our shores. It is a rather wide, wide world out there, after all, and network and cable news is a vacuous dearth in this regard.

Strike a nerve, did I? It's all in the family, as they say. I am happy for you that you have a network to go to, for the time being, but it still is a distinct possibility that, once the heirs seize control, the cash cow will be put out to pasture.

Now, I have a question for you. Why does restoring truth to the Fair and Balanced Reporting slogan make you defensive? After all, if your viewpoints and principles are as representative of "real Americans" as you assert, they should be able to stand up to the scrutiny of opposing views without the slant, shouldn't they?

I don't recall bringing up freedom of speech, but I thank you for reminding me that we all have that right, so I will exercise mine at this point by adding a postscript to my IMAGINE a Fox-free world fantasy. Imagine Glen Beck, Sean Hannity and Bill-O standing in the unemployment line.
