Statement from Elizabeth Ailes:

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. He was also a patriot, profoundly grateful to live in a country that gave him so much opportunity to work hard, to rise—and to give back. During a career that stretched over more than five decades, his work in entertainment, in politics, and in news affected the lives of many millions. And so even as we mourn his death, we celebrate his life...

Here's how I see it: he's dead. You can't offend him and you can only judge him by the works he did in his life. If he spent his life being an a-hole then that's how he'll be remembered.

Roger was a pioneer who created a wildly successful network that changed news coverage as we know it. There were allegations made against him that caused his dismissal, but they were not proven and as time has shown, everyone on that network has had allegations made about them so it's not very reliable. People who hated Fox News waged a campaign to destroy the network and I don't believe for a second that Roger Ailes was the monster they tried to make him out to be.

Comparing Richard Ailes and his alleged crimes to Literal Osama Bin Laden really isn't an intelligent thing to do.

Sorry.

i have no reaction other than to post this

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/08/ailes-used-fox-budget-to-finance-campaigns-against-enemies.html

But with Ailes gone, Fox executives are now looking closely at how Ailes spent Fox money. And what they are discovering is that, beyond the sexual-harassment claims, Ailes was also able to use portions of the Fox budget to hire consultants, political operatives, and private detectives who reported only to him, according to a senior Fox source. Last week, according to the source, Fox News dismissed five consultants whom Ailes had hired to do work that was more about advancing his own agenda than Fox’s. One of the consultants, Bert Solivan, ran negative PR campaigns against Ailes’s personal and political enemies out of Fox News headquarters, a source said. A Fox News spokesperson confirmed, "Solivan was recently informed that his services were no longer needed."

Even if his crimes are true, while heinous and horrible, does not compare to Bin Laden.

I'm taking no sides, but I do find it funny that this wasn't modded but Kiwi's "joke" about Rosario's cousin did get modded.

Just my two cents.

being a waste of space and resources doesn't make you a piece of shit. Spending your professional life manipulating half the population's sense of reality does.

dude was old wasn't he?

no one expects a stranger to be sad over old dude dying, it is kinda expected with age you going soon one day

and nobody expects you to treat the guy like a saint, most big business owners are terrible people anyways

but literally giddy with glee a dude is dead because you drink liberal coolaid is borderline going down the path of crazy
you might want to rethink your life

like, I am not saying don't be a liberal, that is fine, but don't think in your mind "dude is dead. he was not a liberal. so I am happy he died"

He doesn't deserve respect, this is true. The issue is when you are legit "grinning like an idiot in my office right now" because he is dead.

Think if Hillary died tomorrow. Tons of Trump supporters would be rejoicing. That is insane right? Yes it is. Don't be like them.
