The personal, political and just plain surreal story of Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. Variously called a bulldog, a kingmaker, and the Ernest Hemingway of campaign advisors, Ailes was the wizard of Oz. As a key advisor to Presidents Nixon, Reagan and George H.W. Bush he shaped more than fifty years of American political history. But he collected talent like dolls and became consumed by paranoia about his own personal security. After creating a ratings powerhouse, Ailes was forced out of Fox in 2016 amid multiple allegations of sexual harassment. Ailes died in May 2017.

1:39 & 1:40 mark
There still exists a majority of "professional" women who create a false belief that we can and should use our looks & sex vs intelligence & hard work to satiates our desire for money because everyone does it and it's okay, it isn't.While not defending any actions of abuse, the same women had no problem when JFK, Bobby & Clinton used their power to abuse women. Nor will they report the same abuses & worse currently going on. Why no expose' of the liberal MSM? Because the liberal MSM does not value women and any woman who reports it or other sexual atrocities can and is replaced. But hey, Hunter Biden is just misunderstood.Being brave does not mean coming out as having been abused 50 years or how ever long ago, instead of reporting it. Clearly your career and greed are more important than the victims you create because your let it go.It's funny to see the very people chiding 1:39 & 1:40 mark were revealed soon after to have locked women in their offices and sexually abused them on premise right Matt. Brian has a problem keeping his pants on with one guy whipping it out and masturbating on a zoom call. But they are on the Left, no movie, and it's all just forgottenKettle meet pot

Great documentary. Must see!
He was a genius. Unfortunately an evil one. The brainwashing of FOX news has deeply affected the division in our country with completely false, fear driven, unchecked, purposely fabricated narratives. I wish there was a law for banning channels for spreading false news.

Enlightening. The side of Fox News and Roger Ailes you may have suspected but never dived into.
This movie mirrors what I already knew and intuitively suspected. I have found Fox News quite toxic, negative, and manipulative. Ridiculous. Amazing all the people who follow this channel and really consider it "real" "Fair and Balanced" news. Easily manipulated. Even Narcissstic/Sociopaths like my father who lavish over the Fox News channel and its more blatant bully hosts (like Bill O'Reilly when there and Sean Hannity), submit themselves to this manipulation. Come to think of it, really, like follows like. This movie tells us a lot about a majority or a good percentage of Americans and how they think or rather don't think for themselves. Their biased predetermined subconscious angry fears, beliefs, and judgements. This is all reflected and of course as this movie shows, stirred up by someone like Roger Ailes who knows how to read and play people. Many, many, many traits of Narcissist/Sociopath/Pscyhopath are shown in this movie of this man and some of the other right wing Fox News employees as well as Rupert Murdoch who claims that the sexual harassment was just "women flirting" and other "nonsense" -- minimization, trivialization, and denial. All traits of a greater toxic head honcho like Murdoch and the people who had/has run his Fox News empire.

Shockingly Powerful Documentary About Evil & Power
Roger Ailes was a disgustingly demonic shell of a man that changed the course of the country and has done as much as anyone to bring down democracy. Unfortunately the minions he hired are still doing his dirty work of "railing up the crazies" through fear, hate and paranoia. These people should all be locked up and instead are given tens of millions of dollars per year. These were pure criminal activities and unfortunately Roger and Bill never got to share a cell with Harvey. What a backward country the USA is.
