Roger Ailes

Monday night, I went to a special screening of the new film “Bombshell,” which tells the true story of the downfall of late Fox News honcho — and verifiable sleaze ball — Roger Ailes.

Having worked inside the corridors of Fox myself years ago, Jay Roach’s stylized, nuanced and biting portrayal of the Ailes era felt very familiar.

I know the stories. I personally know many of Roger’s victims, as well as the culture that pervaded that network.

The Fox News founder shaped his times more than almost anyone.

Roger Ailes, the controversial, visionary founder of Fox News who was forced out of the company amid a sexual harassment scandal, has died aged 77.

Roger Ailes, the bombastic and controversial founder and CEO of Fox News ousted last year in a sexual harassment scandal, has died.

The Ohio-born television pioneer was a confidante of presidents and an acknowledged master of communications. He founded Fox News in 1996 and built it into the nation's long-running No. 1 cable news network. Ailes resigned from Fox in July amid charges of sexual harassment.

Ailes is credited with building the network into a news juggernaut.

Reported $20m settlement over claims of sexual harassment by Roger Ailes comes with apology that Carlson ‘was not treated with … respect and dignity’.

About a half century ago, a journeyman ballplayer named Rocky Bridges made his debut as the manager of the San Jose Bees, a desultory California League team.

Roger Ailes, the former Fox News chairman ousted last month over charges of sexual harassment, is advising Donald J. Trump in preparation for the all-important presidential debates this fall.

When asked about whether or not former Fox News chief Roger Ailes would work on his campaign, Donald Trump, declined to comment, and instead praised Ailes’s character.
