Dear All,
Can you tell me the meaning of the last part of this sentence below?
A story published in the New York times about the launch of Fox and the hiring of Ailes suggested that the creation of the Fox News Channel "was to give Mr Ailes a toy to play with, though, given the current state of Fox News as described by some insiders, it may be less a toy than an imaginary friend."
Thank you~
