Roger Ailes Is Negotiating His Departure as Chairman of Fox News
By JOHN KOBLIN and JIM RUTENBERG JULY 19, 2016
Roger Ailess tenure as the head of Fox News appears to be over.
Mr. Ailes and 21st Century Fox, Fox Newss parent company, are in the advanced stages of discussions that would lead to his departure as chairman, Susan Estrich, one of Mr. Ailess lawyers, said in an interview on Tuesday.
The development follows a sexual harassment suit filed July 6 against Mr. Ailes by a former anchor, Gretchen Carlson. The suit prompted 21st Century Fox to conduct an internal review.
Since then, Mr. Ailess future at Fox News has been the subject of intense speculation, which increased on Monday with a report from New York magazine that the executives leading 21st Century Fox Rupert Murdoch and his sons, James and Lachlan had determined that Mr. Ailes must go.
The sides continued negotiations on Tuesday on terms that could include Mr. Ailess staying on in a consulting role for Fox News. Ms. Estrich said nothing was finalized on what sort of continuing role he would have at the network.

CONs and their strange act of pretending to be moral folks. Fuck em, I hope Foxnews goes bye bye. It won't, because it is too easy for them to make money off of simpletons.
