A professional liar, sexual abuser, blackmailer, and shameless propagandist may be dead but he leaves a toxic legacy.
This man for decades has smeared the working class, the poor, trade unions, Muslims, the black community, degraded women and has cheerled every ill-advised US military action in a Middle East country including the Iraq War where he freely parroted the Bush's Administrations lies over WMDs. Moderate conservatives have been painted as traitors and RINOs by Fox whilst the extreme right have been promoted under his watch.
Fox News represents the worst of American television news and is an insult to journalism. "Fair and Balanced" my foot. Ailes eventually was pushed out of Fox last summer due to sexual harassment allegations. He spent last autumn advising Trump in the election campaign.
