Fox news founder Roger Ailes dies aged 77
Quote:
The ex-chairman and founder of Fox News Roger Ailes has died aged 77, his family says.A statement from his wife Elizabeth said she was "profoundly sad and heartbroken", calling him a "patriot".
Mr Ailes ran Fox News for two decades and is credited with transforming it into arguably the most powerful voice in conservative media.
But he stepped down last year after a number of female employees accused him of sexual harassment.
At the time he said he was resigning because he had become a "distraction".
Mrs Ailes' statement said: "During a career that stretched over more than five decades, his work in entertainment, in politics, and in news affected the lives of many millions.
"And so even as we mourn his death, we celebrate his life." The cause of his death is not yet clear.
Sometimes there is justice without even setting foot into a court. Mr Ailes did NOT stand up for his female employees who were experiencing harrassment at work. So the female employees left, or, the brave ones complained to the media.Quote:

Singer Chris Cornell died as a result of hanging himself, US officials have confirmed.
Cornell, 52, was found dead after performing in a concert with his band, Soundgarden, in Detroit on Wednesday evening.
The Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed in a statement the frontman took his own life.
In an earlier statement, Cornell's representative Brian Bumbery had said his death was "sudden and unexpected".
It also said the family would be working closely with the medical examiner and asked for privacy.
Suicide ruling is being disputed of course.
My heart hurts.
Chris Cornel is one of my top 2 vocalists.
Chris Cornell could have doubled up on his anti psy meds and my psychologist said probably do not double up on your meds and could have kept on suicide watch very sad indeed R.I.P. Chris :(
Rest in Peace
