A little background, here,

(from AOL News) on Roger Ailes, the heart and soul of FOXNews, whose views and opinions are followed, without question, by the Fox faithful. Ailes, who hooked up with like-minded, multi-billionaire Rupert Murdoch, spent much of his youth in convalescence. A sickly child – hemophilia forced him to sit out recess at school – he had to learn to walk again after getting hit by a car at age eight. His mother worked outside the home, so he was raised in equal measure by his grandmother and TV. "Television and I grew up together," he later wrote. In many ways, Ailes remains a creature of that earlier era, who never developed normal family reationships. His 1950s manners and unreconstructed sexism give the feeling, says one intimate, "like you’re talking to someone who’s been under a rock for a couple of decades." The 71-year-old Ailes presents the classic figure of a cinematic villain: bald and obese, with dainty hands, Hitchcockian jowls and a lumbering gait. But Ailes is a tyrant, and he lives to extend his conservative policies, by whatever means he can employ, which are extensive, as he is the unelected, unrivaled leader of the right-wing in America, today, whose mission is to destroy those who don't agree with him.
