even though I barely knew who Roger Ailes was and do not keep tabs on Fox news. I saw an interesting interview with Russell Crowe yesterday and he emphasized he got his take on Ailes knowing Ailes started out being a Broadway producer of musicals and producer of the first big variety show, Mike Douglas. Russell also said he thinks Ailes could have easily made Fox news a leftist organization and that CNN, CNBC, NY Times and WashPo tilt toward the left side. That made me feel very uneasy, Russell comparing Fox News to the other news outlets. I kind of doubted Russell knows that much about American politics, being Australian, not being very political and being very rich and out of touch.

I should add, Russell Crowe is one of my favorite actors.

Trump’s words now mirror Ailes back then and what a POS he was...

After I DVR next weeks final episode, I'll binge watch and let my hate and scorn all surface and play out on one night, and not drag it out over 5 weeks like Showtime wants.
