Roger Ailes dead at 76

[MasterJedi]

I don't get it, when many strong conservatives call for death for child molesters and protesters but sexually harassing and raping women is a-ok and they're good men whose lives should be ruined.

RIP FF!

The man was a serial sexual harasser. Just because you agree with his politics you think he's an FF?

I don't get it, when many strong conservatives call for death for child molesters and protesters but sexually harassing and raping women is a-ok and they're good men whose lives should be ruined.

Also we need to defend western (read: white) women from the raping immigrant hordes.

Hope he's taking satan's pitchfork where the sun doesn't shine in hell.

[BuckeyeNut]

Total HP.

[The_Doctor]

Good at politics, horrible as a human being. Can't really muster more than neutrality here. Sexual harassment is nothing to laud.

[Zioneer]

Awful, awful person. I won't say good riddance, but his brand of media and his sexual harassment harmed many, many people.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I'd like to point out something. If a prominent figure with great influence on both media and politics, who had been instrumental in getting (a) Clinton elected suddenly died. Especially if the death came immediately after the appointment of a special counsel to investigate said Clinton, there would be more Republicans screaming conspiracy theories from the far corners of the internet to mainstream news than there are stars in the sky.

Something to remember the next time anyone claims the two parties are equal.

Hilarious that Drudge and not Fox broke the story

It's like these isolated dictatorships where their leader dies and they try to keep it a secret for days or weeks (except in this case everyone already knows.)

If Fox wanted to pay tribute to Ailes' legacy they should run a story asserting he is alive and, in fact, found the Fountain of Youth in Palm Beach.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

I feel nothing

The Fountain is actually in Saint Augustine. It's rather tacky.

[Crumpets]

Reports say Ailes died soon after attempting to feed several Democratic operatives to the Sarlacc at the Great Pit of Carkoon.

[NeverAgain]

Surprised his morbidly obese body got this far. Hope the family gets over having this monster in their lives.

"good men whose lives should be ruined"  Interesting concept.

[SATW]

RIP, despite his many flaws and failures.

I'm not going to play Moderate Hero over the death of somebody who is arguably more responsible than anybody else for the breakdown of journalism, the toxicity of the current political climate and the destruction of reasoned partisan discussion. I hope he suffered as much as humanly possible before he died - and even if, it wouldn't be enough to atone for what he did (and that's without even touching his personal life). Good riddance.

[Pericles]

I find it distasteful to grave-dance on Roger Ailes. He was certainly a controversial figure, and he left his mark on American journalism and politics. He was certainly an effective person. RIP to him and best wishes to his family.

You hear it a lot in the really weak sentences for young, white rapists.

[The Arizonan]

I don't feel any sympathy or any feelings for that matter towards Roger Ailes.

What did Jared Fogle do aside from being a pedophile?

Say what you want about tabloid sleaze; nobody pretends that the contents of National Enquirer and its ilk are anything other than entertainment. People know enough to not cite that junk. FoX Propaganda Channel has always been deadly serious if politically amoral.

Btw, wasn't he 77, not 76 as the thread title says?
