Ailes is out as Fox News head, Murdoch named acting chief
NEW YORK (AP) — Roger Ailes is out as chief executive at Fox News Channel, his career at the network he built from scratch and ran with an iron hand for nearly 20 years over with stunning swiftness following allegations that he forced out a former anchor after she spurned his sexual advances.
Network parent 21st Century Fox said Thursday that Rupert Murdoch, the company’s executive chairman, would run Fox News and its sister Fox Business Network, which Ailes had also led, until a successor could be found.
Murdoch and 21st Century Fox did not address the widening scandal in the statement on the resignation but lauded Ailes for his contributions. Ailes did not comment in the resignation announcement.
I'd make a cooment about what he allegedly shook with that iron hand but this is a family blog hahaha
ReplyDeleteDirty old man why would he think anyone would want him
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how this ultimately changes the tone and tenor of Fox News over time. Aisles was Fox News.
ReplyDeleteHe is so used to paying for sex that he forgot these women are employees.
