Roger Ailes has died.

Story is just breaking.

Love him or hate him, the man is largely responsible for the current state of political news.

Retirement kills.

A man in the position of building and running Fox News... I'd imagine was a workaholic.

Well that is certainly saying something.

I hear skirts at Fox News have been lowered to half mast.

Imma refrain from the other half mast joke...

 

[Commodus]

I want to offer a modicum of respect, but... I'm sorry, there's not much good that can be said of him. He fostered a news culture that valued partisan screeching over the truth, and he was a sexist asshole to boot. He just wasn't a good person.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Good riddance!

 

[soundforbjt]

As a professional assholes go, he was one of the best. There, I found something good to say about him.

That and loss of love/companionship.

I won't speak ill of the dead, so that's all I have to say.

 

[theeedude]

This week has been pretty damn good.

 

[fskimospy]

I saw a good comment on this that basically encapsulates my feelings: I'm sad that Roger Ailes is dead because that means I'm never going to be able to experience the joy of finding out that he died ever again.

People say that it's bad to speak ill of the dead and for the overwhelming majority of people on this planet I agree. Some people like Scalia and Roger Ailes were such horrible, toxic people that I think the world is genuinely better off without them. Sad for their families, better for everyone else. I'm glad he's gone as he was a terrible human.

 

[Azuma Hazuki]

Good. I hope the demons are making sexually suggestive passes at him in hell.

 

[UberNeuman]

Pale Ailes.

 

[yllus]

Good.

 

[xthetenth]

I'd prefer he got hit by sudden perspective on what he's done and what it's done to people and have to live to 110 with the knowledge and trying in vain to fix things both because I am a firm believer in rehabilitation and because I am incredibly cruel to the evil.

However in the realm of the actually possible, him dying causes the greatest reduction in harm.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

yea, not much good to say about that guy.

 

[DrMrLordX]

I sense an opportunity for a pun, hence my decision to post here.

What was ailing him?

. . .

*cough*

Much if that is because many retires stop moving. My dad is retired. When I go to the house he's watching Netflix for hours or he's flipping the channel between Fox and CNN.

Luckily for him he stays ultrabusy in the summer.

A cold, black pit in the center of his chest.

I believe that is his Thorax.

[JSt0rm]

glad to see all that right wing propaganda worked out for him.

 

[Sea Ray]

He didn't even get to spend that $40 mill Fox gave as a retirement gift
