Rupert Murdoch, executive co-chairman of 21st Century Fox Inc, and his sons, James and Lachlan, agree that Fox News Channel boss Roger Ailes should leave the company but they have not settled on the timing, New York magazine reported on Monday, citing anonymous sources.
Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson has sued Ailes, claiming sexual harassment. Ailes has denied the charges. Fox hired the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison to conduct an internal investigation.
"This matter is not yet resolved and the review is not concluded," 21st Century Fox said in a statement after the report surfaced. Julie Henderson, a spokeswoman for 21st Century Fox, declined comment beyond the statement.
