Roger Ailes’ attack on the New York Times during a Monday Ohio University talk did seem a bit strange after his right-hand man said just a few months ago that “we have a solid relationship with the New York Times.”
The “senior Fox News executive” who told Howard Kurtz that “Ailes realizes he went too far and regrets using that language” about the Times is probably Fox News communications boss Brian Lewis — or Ailes himself. (It’s possible, too, that Irena Briganti was his source.)
