Another installment of "The Loudest Voice" about Roger Ailes was just on...

that man was a monster. I only caught the last half of this segment (I saw the first two) but it shows more of this man's brutality towards women and how he sexually exploited them and his brutal treatment of those men who worked with him. He was vicious.

But we now have Gretchen Carlson, one of his victims, recording him while he is sexually molesting her. I await the downfall of this horrible man in the next episode.

This is tough to deal with but it is honest. Russell Crowe will get an Emmy for his unsparing portrayal of Ailes. But this may well upset you. And may, like me, remind you of a boss who treated you like dirt.

was Ailes' wife - OMG what a true believer, it takes your breath away what comes out of her mouth. And that bunker they had built beneath their mansion with a tunnel that lead outside so they could escape. This is just beyond anything you can imagine.

My guess is that she went along like one of those prisoners who become close emotionally to their captors. Stockholm Syndrome it's called.

she got so upset and angry, she won't watch it anymore. It is truly eye opening that such evil exists.
