Scandal overshadows Ailes death for some media
Yes, Roger Ailes was a TV genius. He also had an apparently monstrous personal life and nasty, dangerous editorial instincts.

Roger Ailes behaved egregiously toward women in his organization and changed our culture for the worse, making people dumber and angrier.

A lesson of today: if you live as an abusive, cynical scoundrel who loves nothing more than your own power, no one will cry when you die.

I’m sure Roger Ailes is in a worse place looking up at us.

Think about how shrewd it was to label Fox News “Fair & Balanced,” and how that misappropriation undermined trust in the mainstream media.

Just because he’s dead doesn’t mean you have to say something nice about him. Would he give you the same break?

I once spent a day interviewing with Roger Ailes for a job at Fox. He was a disgusting scumbag. I’m glad he can’t hurt people anymore.
