Rumors of a feud between Fox News chairman Roger Ailes and the children of Rupert Murdoch seemed to be put to rest last night.

Spies tell us News Corp.’s James Murdoch was seated at Roger Ailes‘ table at the Radio & Television Correspondents Dinner in Washington, DC. Murdoch and Ailes were friendly and cordial throughout the entire evening, making their way through Fox’s cocktail party and the dinner that followed.

37-year-old James Murdoch, the fourth of Rupert Murdoch’s six children, is Chairman and CEO of News Corp., Europe and Asia, overseeing British newspaper company News International, SKY Italia and STAR TV.

Pres. Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett was among other high profile guests of Fox and was also seated at Ailes’ table.
