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.

    If I were a woman I would be insulted by being invited to have sex with such an ugly man. It is said that power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, or so said Henry Kissinger, but Kissinger even in his extreme dotage, is better looking that Roger Ailes.

    I pity Roger Ailes' wife, probably long suffering. I wonder how long she will stay with him now that the scope of his philandering has become so public.

    Googled:
          Roger Ailes' wife

    Informative, she fits the type and has seen this movie before (but not out in public). My guess, she sticks around while the scandal blows over and enjoys life on her allowance.
