Conservative Media Adjusts To A Fox News Without Ailes

With guest host Sacha Pfeiffer.

What will Fox News look like without Roger Ailes? With the Republican Party in disarray? We’ll dig in.

Fox News debuted 20 years ago as a conservative alternative to mainstream media. It quickly grew into a national phenom that became the voice of conservative America. But now its powerful co-founder, Roger Ailes, is out over sexual harassment claims and corporate restructuring is underway. That internal drama comes just as Trump's campaign is splitting the GOP. This hour On Point, the troubles at Fox, the Trump effect on political journalism, and the future of conservative media. — Sacha Pfeiffer
