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.

    Hannity is going to have a problem not leaving.
    As far as his head is stuck up Ailes backside, it could be fatal if his body stayed and his head popped off.
    of course, now that I think about it, Hannity losing his head might not change much...

    Some of us suspect it has already happened a while ago.
