President Trump: Rupert Murdoch treats me better than Roger Ailes did

President Donald Trump has been treated better by Fox News since Rupert Murdoch took over for Roger Ailes -- and he knows it. The president has been heard on multiple occasions talking about how Fox's coverage of him has become more positive since Murdoch took the reins at the network, sources at both the White House and Fox News told CNNMoney.

The president "talks about how the coverage under Murdoch is better than under Ailes," a White House source said. According to New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman, President Trump was also heard on a hot mic this week telling Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, "Rupert's been a lot better to me than Roger ever was." The president's sentiments about Murdoch may explain why he repeatedly gives interviews to Fox outlets while ignoring other networks.
