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.
 
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.
 
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.
