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.

    Fox was his baby all the way and just look at the women he put on display in front of the camera, he definitely had a type.

    Bleached blond. Vacuous, semi-cocked up deer-in-the-headlights look. To be fair, this seems to be rather endemic amongst Republicans. I blame Nancy Reagan. Indeed, about the only way they could possibly enhance the effect is if, each time they spoke of Reagan on air, they glowingly refer to him as "My Ronnie".
