According to the Hollywood Reporter, Roger Ailes is to resign as chairman and CEO of Fox News. Rupert Murdoch is to take over Ailes' responsibilities. The resignation comes after accusations of sexual harassment. It is rumoured that he will receive $40 million as he leaves, but that he will be subject to a non-compete agreement.

Ailes had been with Fox News since its founding in 1996. Prior to that, he was a Republican political consultant.

    There wouldn't have been oxygen for Fox News if every television news outfit at the time didn't have a left-of-center tilt that reflected the NYC area. Even dry old CNN in Atlanta was copying that. The success of Rush Limbaugh's right-leaning radio show indicated there was an untapped market ready to try something new.

    Haven't you heard? Reality has a well-known liberal bias. Sheesh! When will people ever learn?
