Roger Ailes, the late visionary TV executive credited with building Fox News into the dominant cable news network, would have celebrated his birthday May 15.
In remembrance, Ailes’ widow, Elizabeth, fired off a scathing tweet criticizing the Murdoch family that forced out Ailes.
Elizabeth Ailes wrote: “It took you 20 years to build Fox News into the powerhouse that it was and only 6 years for the Murdochs to wreak havoc. Rupert thought he could do your job. What a joke. He has the checkbook but could never come close to your genius. RIP.”
