Roger Ailes: Fox News founder dies at 77

The ex-chairman and founder of Fox News Roger Ailes has died aged 77, his family says.
A statement from his wife Elizabeth to US media said she was "profoundly sad and heartbroken", calling him a "patriot".

Mr Ailes ran Fox News since it launched in 1996, turning it into a ratings hit and hugely influential voice in the US political landscape. But he stepped down last year amid allegations of sexual assault
 
good riddance. the guy was a cancer.
 
He was a complex man. There is no doubt that he was transformative in his influence on television news in the U.S. Further he played an important role in the rise of any number of news figures including those now at many other networks.

Yet at the same time he was a man with a bullying personality, who was a serial harasser of women.
 
Hobbyists are a pariah in society and then they're the first to attack one of their own. Sad.
Its pathetic some of you guys pretend to be goodie twoshoes when you're no better than Alies
You call him a serial harasser. They call you a john a rapist every time you pay for it.

Then WTF are you doing here?

Actually, I AM better than Ailes. When I pay for sex, the girl doesn't spend the night crying afterwards. And she doesn't do anything she didn't want to do. Nor is she humiliated and disempowered.

Why the fuck ARE you on this board, if that's the best you can come up with?

How do you know for sure Ailes is (or was) guilty of sexual harrassment??
Because he paid the women off?? Settling lawsuits like that usual comes with no admission of guilt, so technically under the law Ailes should be presumed innocent until proven guilty (which of course now becomes impossible)

Needless to say I agree with you entirely!
 
Monica Lewinsky recently spoke out. She said Ailes built up Fox News at her expense. She was being trashed on a daily basis by the news channel. That's the problem with these news channels, they're repetitive to the point of numbness. I'll watch CNN for Anthony Bourdain and occasionally Erin Burnett - he's a funny prick, she's hot.

Roger Ailes was a piece of work. I don't know who Gretchen Carlson is but it's alleged that Ailes wouldn't stop asking her to suck his balls. Nervy for a guy who makes Baba Boooooey look like Clark Gable.
 
Ok, now I do. Ailes must have known who he was picking on, if he had tried that with Valerie Pringle (80's edition) she would have given him a twister.
