When the Murdochs forced Ailes to resign from Fox News a couple weeks into the lawsuit, it’s true that Rupert barred Ailes from announcing his resignation to the newsroom himself.
The Murdoch brothers were at a resort and conference in Sun Valley, Idaho when they found out about the lawsuit and supported an internal investigation within Fox News.
The brothers were reportedly not fans of Ailes either.
According to Time, Lachlan and Ailes had an agreement in 2005 and Roger didn’t love the idea of reporting to the brothers over Rupert after some corporate restructuring.
