Donald Trump has to keep the most prominent conservative media outlets on his side. The owner of Fox parent company News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, isn’t a fan of Trump, but Fox President Roger Ailes is.

Murdoch has called Trump and his controversial remarks about illegal immigrants an embarrassment to the Republican Party.
