Roger Ailes, Fox News founder and former chairman, dies at 77, family says
“I am profoundly sad and heartbroken to report that my husband, Roger Ailes, passed away this morning. Roger was a loving husband to me, to his son Zachary, and a loyal friend to many,” his wife Elizabeth Ailes said in a statement. Ailes resigned as president and chairman of Fox last year after sexual harassment allegations.
An entitled, unrepentant sexual predator who oversaw an enormously influential media conglomerate that spewed false, deadly, destructive right-wing propaganda 24/7/365 has STFU forever.
It’s still a developing story and at the moment there are no further details. But I don’t think it’s premature to let the grave dancing commence.
Good Riddance.
Amen.

One less sexual predator and sleazy undeservingly rich scumbug oh noez!!!
Wonder how they’re gonna do the “don’t speak ill of the dead” shit here?
A end of on trail of lies, misdirection and abuse.
The time to quote Lord Byron is near.
Grr, “A end of one…”
Isn’t Ailes a little big to be a squirrel?

I never understood that rule. It’s not like dead people can hear you. Besides, RULES AREN’T THE BOSS OF ME.

The Squirrel People are Democrats. You must be confusing them with Dick Cheney’s Lizard People.
There’ll be a small number of people near to him who’ll be upset. Not many, perhaps. If they didn’t enable or cover up or deny his shitty side, then it’s OK to have empathy for them – and being supportive to someone like that is OK. Otherwise, good riddance to the horrible man and, in due course, all his friends who looked the other way. May they get what’s coming to them.
Roger was a loving husband to me…
I hadn’t realized the polyamory movement has spread so far.
The Great Equalizer has claimed Ailes. All your money and power and comfort, now are worth less than mine, Roger. There’s the door.
When it was revealed that Ailes died as a result of a fall, the SO wondered who pushed him.
It wasn’t me! Yes, it’s true my personal motto is Be a Pusher, Not a Jumper. But I would never, EVER do such a thing to any of Dick Cheney’s Lizard People! *blinks innocently*
