I’ve lost friends as a direct result of the hate that shitbags like Ailes and Murdoch spread around the planet. Trans people have been on the fox news/news international hit list for decades now, in the 1980s and 90s the Sun used to out trans people on their front page without a care about how many lives they fucked up in the process. They claimed it was in the public interest. The Daily Mail still try to do this occasionally.
I am not happy because he never woke up in horror at what he had done and tried to fix the hate he had caused, but the recent death of Ian Brady reminded me that there are people out there who get pleasure out of causing pain to others.
I therefore give Ailes the respect he deserves.
