Just a heading on all the major and minor news outlets at this moment,

It's a breaking story. No word on cause of death.

Roger Ailes dead at 77   29 Mins Ago | 00:52   

Media titan Roger Ailes, who resigned from his positions as chairman and CEO of Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network amid sexual harassment allegations, has died at age 77.

Ailes resigned from Fox in summer 2016 in the wake of former Fox News Channel Host Gretchen Carlson's sexual harassment lawsuit against him. Ailes had denied the allegations.

Since I have nothing good to say about him, I'll just pray God comforts his loved ones.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Megyn were to appear. Be great publicity.

Listened to Rush's opening while getting lunch. I know he was close to Roger, and that they were good friends. Still, I couldn't listen to more than a few minutes. Sorry Rush, there's no glossing over the $45 million Fox has paid to date for Ailes' sexual harassment lawsuits.

Truth be known, I was more inclined to turn the channel to Sirius 18...the Beatles channel went live today.

O/T - my 6 yo grandson's not liking that, he loves ch 56 The Highway...for now. lol

Roger Ailes dead at 77
Washington Examiner, May 18, 2017

<snip>

Rupert Murdoch, executive chairman of Fox, said in a statement that "everybody at Fox News is shocked and grieved by the death of Roger Ailes."

That statement said Ailes "will be remembered by the many people on both sides of the camera he discovered, nurtured and promoted. We shared a big idea which he executed in a way no one else could have. Roger was a great patriot who never ceased fighting for his beliefs. At [parent company] 21st Century Fox we'll appreciate him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and son."

The Associated Press reported that, according to a Palm Beach police report, Ailes was said to have fallen in his home bathroom on May 10, resulting in a head injury with "serious bleeding."

He had hemophilia.

When asked if he was afraid to die, Ailes responded: 'Because of my hemophilia, I’ve been prepared to face death all of my life. As a boy I spent a lot of time in hospitals.

I'm expecting something on infowars saying Ailes was murdered.   Question is:  who will be the suspect?

I watched FOXNEWS all day today because of the early news of his death.  Every show had a moving tribute/eulogy to him.  I have never seen so many tears shed on FOXNEWS as I did today.  He was definitely loved there.

Ailes fell last night in the bathroom and hit his head.  Because of his hemophilia, it caused a brain bleed that killed him.

IIRC Ailes got Rush started nationally.

BOR will be there for sure. He speaks highly of Ailes.

Interesting side nite...Ailes was one of the ones who got CNBC off the ground.
