from fox news in new york, i am shepard smith, and this is fox news coverage of breaking news in americais moment. fox news has now confirmed that the united states has launched a strike in the south of syria. it is my understanding that this was a sort of deconfliction zone, a safe space area, and that the united states forces were on the ground. syrian forces there as well had entered this sort of safe space area and united states forces on the ground wanted them to leave. warning shots fired. they did not leave. as the story goes to us at this moment, 1:34 eastern time in new york, as the story goes to us, air strikes were then called in and coalition forces dropped ordinance of some sort on this deconfliction zone. this is not a change in policy toward the syrian civil war which has left hundreds of thousands died, a murderous dictator still in charge, and after more than seven years of civil war, hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of people dead, a refugee crisis beyond imagination, and a very tenuous set of circumstances as the russians and iranians back the syrian regime, the uni

program talking about journalism and his former career in politics and the successes and criticisms of fox news channel at the time he was chairman of the network a position he held through july of last year this is one hour. >>cspan: why do some people hate you and hate fox?. >>guest: [laughter] i don't know why they hate me but we changed the business a little bit but there are things you have to get over.hink of they give anybody that i hate of fox news came on the scene to identify yourself as fair and balanced the try to do that every day so people are probably offended or worried. we get attacked and we get copied usually at the same time by the same people. so basically this year we're doing something they're not doing so they tried to pretend we're doing something political but we have been around eight years we're not retracting stories . we don't have a former attorney general looking in us to see how we screwed it up. >>cspan: when did you know you made it on top?. >> i don't know when i knew exactly it was working with the first time we really beat cnn in the evening the announcemen

, bill o'reilly is gone from fox news and this week a third figure left the network, copresident bill shine. fox says it has cleaned house amid the sexual harassment scandal, it has diversified the leadership ranks, reformed its hr office. but the wild part now is this justice investigation of the network's practices back during the ailes era. there were big new leaks about the probe this week including this "wall street journal" story reporting that prosecutors have interviewed network executives and on air talent asking about sexual harassment settlements. let's go to joe flynn in l.a., he's a media reporter for "the wall street journal." so, joe, you're reporting people who have been brought in, some subpoenaed, speaking with investigators, prosecutors, and even a grand jury. what's the most important new information you learned this week? >> well just to correct, we didn't report about a grand jury. i cannot say that a grand jury has been summoned yet to this case. but some former on-air talent, off-air talent, former senior executive brian lewis the head of corporate communicatio

top five are at the fox news channel. and -- i don't know what he is doing running for office or something. and then cnbc after that. we think there is a market for business news because we think it is real news. >> why would you do a business channel when cnn fn has been dropped and cnbc's ratings are down? >> they never got distribution. i think cnbc you know they claim they went down when the bubble burst. but you know, a market went out but trying to represent that the ratings went down 80 percent. so i keep thinking you know, when i was there we did not have that problem. we did not have a problem.so i think maybe we can do something. i just believe that it can be, we are all in business to make money. all of these channels eventually have to make money. i believe that if you do business news correctly, you will make money. and they make money but they make most of their is on infomercials. if they did not have infomercials it would be ugly! >> so if you start when would you start? >> as soon as we get distribution. w

boss are at the centre of sexual and racial harassment claims that have led to their departure from fox newshis huge corporate scandal has shaken it to the core. for the threats we face today. over two decades, a mixture of conspiracy, aggression and nationalism has made rupert murdoch's channel the most watched cable news network in america. for the murdochs, the timing couldn't be worse. they're currently trying to take full control of the british broadcaster sky through an acquisition by 21st century fox. they declined an interview request, so i said hello to the boss as he left work in manhattan. are you worried about ofcom at all? no. you should be worried about the bbc as well. fox news is getting record ratings, so i'm not worried at all. you don't think ofcom will consider what is happening at fox news? nothing is happening at fox news. nothing. you have lost three of your top people, that is something, isn't it? there is a sexual and racial harassment accusation. there's no third person at all. nothing against him. and the other two are quite separate. the harassment scandal at fox

less than two weeks after bill o'reilly was force outstanding out of fox news, bill shine is out as foxopresident. suzanne scott will be the new president of programing for the fox news channel. last week when reports hinted that bill shine could be the next to go, sean hannity tweeted i pray this is not true, because if it is, that's the total end of the fox news channel as we know it. now as politico reports, many fox insiders said the network remains a wash with speculation about hannity's future in the wake of shine's resignation. joining us now haddas gold. haddas, sean hannity tweeted something last week saying somebody high up and inside fox news channel is trying to get an innocent person fired. this -- he gives this bill shine situation an intrigue that, you know, becomes incredibly powerful if it also involves some link to sean hannity. >> exactly. sean hannity and bill shine go back a long ways. in the mid-'90s it was sean hannity who recommended bill shine to roger ailes to bring him to fox news. he was sean hannity's producer for some time. shine is pretty well liked within

. >> sandra: fox news alert, roger ailes, a television pioneer and founder of fox news has died. he spent much of his career advising presidents, including ronald reagan. he launched fox news in 1996 and changing the media landscape forever. howard kurtz is live in washington with more. at this news coming as quite a shock to many of us this morning. >> as shock to me as well. roger ailes had an undeniable impact in everything he did. he was a colorful and confidential character before he advised ronald reagan and he took richard nixon and helped get him elected through his use of television and 1968. also going into the media business, founding fox news in 1996 and turning it into the powerhouse it is today. let me read a couple of statements. first from rupert murdoch. everyone is shocked and grieved his late wife elizabeth said i am profoundly sad and heartbroken to report to my husband, roger ailes, passed away this morning. it roger was my best friend, the most wonderful loving husband and father to her son zachary. roger was a patriot, grateful to live in a country that gav

the president loves fox news. it's his favorite network, and he's a frequent guest. >> how was easter? >> it was great. >> reporter: murdoch's papers like "the new york post" helped to boost trump to celebrity status in the 1980s. much later fox's opinion shows helped to lay the seeds for trump's election wins. maggie haberman of the "new york times" says trump and murdoch now speak almost every day, even as the justice department investigates murdoch's profit-making fox news machine. thursday's high profile trump/murdoch meeting calling to mind another eyebrow raising meeting that trump criticized heavily on the campaign trail. he blasted former president bill clinton's meeting with then attorney general loretta lynch as the d.o.j. was investigating hillary clinton's e-mails. >> so she met with him for 45 airline on the tarmac in - arizona. i think it's disgraceful. i think it's a disgrace. >> reporter: but now that trump is president, it's his relationships that are raising questions. now, this ongoing federal i

bush, and then what a mark he made at fox news after working at msnbc, and came to fox news in the beginningulture and ideology and shaped the world view of that network who had such a huge impact on our politics. >> all he has people know him most for fox news. his wife said i am profoundly sad and heartbroken to announce my husband, roger ailes, passed away this morning. he was also a patriot, and profoundly grateful to live in a country that gave him so much opportunity to work hard and rise and give back. during a career that stretched over more than five decades, his work in entertainment and politics and news affected the lives of millions and even as we mourn his death we celebrate his life. and with all that he has gone through in recent months, how do you believe he will be best remembered? >> a good question. he did make a big stamp on politics and broadcasting, and he left fox news under the crowd of sexual harassment, and he was forced out of fox news and that's a big part of his legacy, and he did not leave fox news the way he wanted to leave. >> speaking to that, george, you me

fox news analyst, judge andrew napolitano is here. the "wall street journal" reporting is new and in print from online that he will testify that he was asked to drop the flynn investigation by president trump. >> that is what the "wall street journal" has reported. catherine, if we can back that into catherine's reporting, that tells me a couple things. that tells me that robert mueller has already debriefed jim comey on the nature of what he's prepared to testify and has authorized that testimony. often prosecutors to the point of locking their witnesses up, don't want their witnesses spilling the beans before they act as witnesses. in this case, jim comey would be a witness before a grand jury seeking to indict fill in the blank. so bob mueller has in my view thoroughly examined james comey and said you can go ahead and testify. so look for a couple things. look for the request to produce the memo that jim comey's colleagues leaked, that he wrote after he had this meeting with president trump in which he alleged that president trump

by the end of that fox news became number one in cable news and remained so ever since but last summerlegations that ailes had repeated unwanted sexual advances toward numerous women who worked for him at fox news. he denied the allegations but was forced to resign amid the resulting scandal. the accusations came as a shock to nearly all of fox news who remembered him for his talent, his leadership, his humor, his personal kindness. >> the path of their life, seeing something in other people they don't see in themselves. sorely missed. but grandma, we use charmin ultra soft so we don't have to wad to get clean. charmin ultra soft gets you clean without the wasteful wadding. it has comfort cushions you can see that are softer... ...and more absorbent, and you can use up to 4 times less. enjoy the go with charmin. >> sweden dropping it sexual assault investigation into julian assange, the wikileaks founder has been hold up in the ecuadorian embassy since 2012, five years fighting extradition, but not in the clear yet. he won't leave because he can be arrested and extradited to the united

it goes back to when he owns the new york post and fox news, fox news helped president trump's campaign a lot because he was on a lot, even before he was a candidate and trump sort of became a phenomenon on the new york city gossip pages through page 6 on the new york post. runer murdock was never close to trump. they knew each other. one was much healthier than the other. i think rupert murdock did not see trump as a serious contender for a long time for the presidency. but he has always craved a serious advisory style relationship with a u.s. president. he did not have that with george w. bush. he clearly didn't have that with bill clinton. now he is essentially efforting that with donald trump. they speak if not daily, several times a week. we reported this in the "time's" a couple weeks ago. the content of the conversation is a little unclear. it is said to include essentially a broad set of issues. murdock is staying focused on the economy or should we say more broadly focused on foreign policy but with specific targets, there is the question of whether this is wise given the fact
