Light. Tunnel. Rupert Murdoch has liberal heirs.
The tensions surrounding Ailes played out in the publication of Michael Wolff’s Murdoch biography. Matthew Freud, husband of Murdoch’s daughter Elisabeth and a London-based PR executive, encouraged Wolff to portray Fox as a pariah wing of the News Corp. empire.

Biography
Freud is the son of June Flewett and the late writer Sir Clement Freud, his sister is television interviewer Emma Freud. His great-grandfather is Sigmund Freud and he is doubly related to the 'father' of public relations, Edward Bernays, whose father was Sigmund Freud's brother-in-law (the brother of Sigmund Freud's wife) and whose mother was Sigmund Freud's sister. He is the nephew of artist Lucian Freud and (by former marriage) of the late writer Lady Caroline Blackwood, and his cousins include fashion designer Bella Freud, novelists Susie Boyt and Esther Freud.
He was educated at Westminster School and left in his third year and briefly attended Pimlico Comprehensive.

Excerpt:
“I made the connections. Ailes knew I had given Brock the interview. Certainly Brock didn’t tell him. Of course. Fox News had gotten Brock’s telephone records from the phone company, and my phone number was on the list. Deep in the bowels of 1211 Avenue of the Americas, News Corporation’s New York headquarters, was what Roger called the Brain Room. Most people thought it was simply the research department of Fox News. But unlike virtually everybody else, because I had to design and build the Brain Room, I knew it also housed a counterintelligence and black ops office. So accessing phone records was easy pie.”

A Kennedy nanny, 100, has tales to tell
THE NATION
The walls in her home hint at her remarkable journey.
There are pictures with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Ronald Reagan, a commemorative plaque from Robert Kennedy's children, and a congratulatory note from Barack Obama.
There are pictures with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Ronald Reagan, a commemorative plaque from Robert Kennedy's children, and a congratulatory note from Barack Obama.
For 44 years, Ena Bernard was part of a family that amounts to American royalty. She started at the bottom, or, in her case, with the bottoms -- wiping them, patting them and threatening to swat them when their owners didn't follow the rules.Now 100 years old, with her memory growing spotty, Bernard lives in a modest home, surrounded by mementos of those heady years as nanny for Ethel and Robert F. Kennedy, when she faithfully watched over their 11 children as if they were her own.
A black-and-white picture on her living room wall shows Bernard watching with a guardian's eye as Bobby Kennedy pushes his daughter on a tricycle. There's a close-up of Bernard at a dedication ceremony with two of the Kennedy children sitting in her lap, where they often were.
There's a ceramic Dalmatian at her door, a gift from Ethel Kennedy.
And there are four decades' worth of tales as part of the Kennedy clan -- at their homes in Massachusetts, Washington and Palm Beach, Fla.
She landed the job with the Kennedys by chance. She began working as a nanny for a prominent Costa Rican family before she was a teenager. That was her ticket to the United States. An employment agency sent her to two interviews, one of which was with Ethel Kennedy.
At the time, Ethel and Bobby Kennedy had only one child.
"I just had a lot of love in my heart for children," said Bernard. Nowadays, sitting in a wheelchair in her brightly lit living room, she still has the kind of arms that look like they can take away all the worries in the world.
Her voice is soothing, though wavering with age, and she switches between English and Spanish when the English word just doesn't capture her thought.
Chris Kennedy, 45, remembers that well. "She would praise us in English and get mad at us in Spanish," Kennedy said by phone from Chicago.
The Kennedy children grew to cherish her threats of a "pow-pow" -- a smack on the hand -- which she never carried out.
In fact, an award they gave her when she turned 100 says: "For Ena, who captured the hearts of the whole family and whose 50 years of giving Pow-Pow has made us all better." Bernard, they say, brought to their house the kind of small-town values that kept them grounded.

Gary Ginsberg, a lawyer, was a friend of John Jr.’s at Brown University who worked as an editor at George and also served as the magazine’s legal counsel. Ginsberg would eventually hitch his wagon to Rupert Murdoch, whom he served as a kind of back-channel dealmaker. In fact, John had recommended him for that job.
Ginsberg would reportedly later persuade Murdoch to spike a story in his New York Post about the rowdiness of Caroline’s teenage daughter Rose; Caroline eventually wrote a letter of recommendation to Brearley, a fancy girls’ school in Manhattan, on behalf of Murdoch’s daughter Grace. In 2008, when Caroline made her embarrassing sort-of Senate run, Murdoch’s Post, not known as a friend of Democrats, endorsed her. Caroline, in return, helped arrange a phone call between Murdoch and then–presidential candidate Barack Obama. Ginsberg eventually received a place on the board of the JFK library.

Talk about bloodlines. Little Charlotte Freud, born in London a few weeks ago, has an impressive lineage.
Her mom is Elisabeth Murdoch, 32, the daughter of media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his ex-wife, Anna Murdoch Mann.
Charlotte's dad is Matthew Freud, 36, the entrepreneurial great-grandson of Sigmund Freud. Matt's father is former Liberal M.P. Sir Clement Freud (whose brother is the painter Lucien Freud).
Charlotte's birth already has hit Nigel Dempster's gossip column in the Daily Mail - and for good reason. There's plenty of London gossip about her parents.
Matt Freud left his wife, Caroline, for Liz Murdoch, who, in turn, left her husband and father of her two eldest daughters, Elkin Pianim.
Now Caroline is dating Princess Di's brother, Charles Spencer, and "he would marry her tomorrow," reports Dempster. "But Caroline is not quite ready for that."
And how about baby Charlotte's parents? No date yet, report sources close to the new mom. Emphasis on the yet.

Excerpt:
1) Early life and family
Lucian Freud is the son of an Austrian Jewish father, Ernst Ludwig Freud, an architect, and a German mother, Lucie née Brasch.[3] He is the grandson of Sigmund Freud, brother of the late broadcaster, writer and politician Clement Freud (thus uncle of Emma and Matthew Freud) and of Stephan Gabriel Freud. He moved with his family to England in 1933 to escape the rise of Nazism. He became a British citizen in 1939,[3] having attended Dartington Hall School in Totnes, Devon, and later Bryanston School.
2) Personal life
Freud is rumoured to have up to 40 illegitimate children,[17] although this number is generally accepted as an exaggeration. After an affair with Lorna Garman, he went on to marry her niece Kitty (daughter of sculptor Jacob Epstein and socialite Kathleen Garman) in 1948. After four years and the birth of two daughters, Annie and Annabel, their marriage ended.
He had begun an affair with Lady Caroline Blackwood, a society girl and writer. They married in 1953. The marriage was dissolved in Mexico in 1958.
Freud has children also by Bernardine Coverley (fashion designer Bella Freud and writer Esther Freud); Suzy Boyt (5 children: Ali, Rose Boyt, Isobel, and Susie Boyt); and Katherine Margaret McAdam (4 children: Paul Freud, Lucy Freud, David Freud and Jane McAdam Freud, who is also an artist).

His son Matthew Freud was formerly married to Caroline Hutton, who was the second wife of Earl Spencer; he then married media magnate Rupert Murdoch's daughter Elisabeth. Sir Clement Freud's daughter Emma Freud, a broadcaster, is the partner of Richard Curtis, scriptwriter of Blackadder and Four Weddings and a Funeral. His nieces (by his painter brother Lucian) are fashion designer Bella Freud and writer Esther Freud. His brother, Stephen Freud, has closely guarded his privacy, with the exception of an interview he gave to The Daily Telegraph.[15] The Freud family live in Walberswick in Suffolk.

Excerpt:
A source close to Freud said Wendi Murdoch was one of the family members who encouraged his Ailes attack in the Times.
“I am by no means alone within the family or the company in being ashamed and sickened by Roger Ailes’ horrendous and sustained disregard of the journalistic standards that News Corporation, its founder and every other global media business aspires to,” Freud told the Times. A News Corp. spokesperson fired back: “Matthew Freud's opinions are his own and in no way reflect the views of Rupert Murdoch, who is proud of Roger Ailes and Fox News.”
A spokesman for Ailes, who in a previous career was a brass-knuckled Republican media consultant who toiled for Presidents Richard Nixon and George H.W. Bush, had no response today to Freud’s charges. But a News Corp. insider told me the pugnacious Ailes, a self-made son of the working class who was paid $23 million last year, more than Rupert himself, is probably enraged at Freud and plotting his revenge. “Ailes would kill him if he thought he could get away with it,” the insider told me.
