Roger Ailes, Fox News Chairman has resigned in the wake of a sexual harassment law suit by former employee Gretchen Carlson. It is not the first law suit of its kind against a Fox news employee. A few years ago a sexual harassment law suit was filed against Bill O'Reilly which was settled out of court by Fox News.
Ailes is credited with the success of the network and its conservative slanted rant against democrats. His network preaches hateful things and billed itself as fair and balanced which any fair minded person would call a crock. Fox tries to sell sex and outright lies on its network. Its female hosts wear short skirts and the camera angle is set to show off a lot of legs but legs do not pretend to be attached to smart people and it shows, especially on Fox's show "outnumbered."
Ailes lack of character in his business dealings caught up to him because he feels he is elite and above it all. The democrats that his network tries to discredit stand on high moral ground compared to Ailes and what he tries to sell. It will be interesting to see if any thing change at the network with Ailes a gone pecan.
Don't hold your breath because the right wing element is deeply planted in the network. But at least one of Fox's phonies has been exposed and it reached to the top man.
