Seems Ailes got pwned by Murdoch's sons.

The nearly omniscient chairman of Fox News, Roger Ailes, was publicly rebuked on Tuesday when his parent company released a statement contradicting him on who he will answer to now that chief executive Rupert Murdoch is stepping down.

Fox Business Network reported last week that Ailes would continue to
"report directly to Rupert Murdoch" — a line that came directly from
Ailes according to New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman.

But on Tuesday, a spokesperson for 21st Century Fox issued a
statement saying that Ailes would answer to Murdoch's sons before the
big man himself.

"Roger will report to Lachlan and James but will continue his unique
and long-standing relationship with Rupert,” spokesperson Nathaniel
Brown told The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday.
