October 7, 1996 is a day we may never overcome.

Tired of the Mueller report analysis, so I’m now watching The Loudest Voice.
Showtime series starring Russell Crowe as Roger Ailes.
It’s about the start of Fox News which launched in 1996.

I believe that The country has been ripped apart by this bastion of right wing propaganda filth.
I just don’t know how we can come back from it.

I watched a few episodes of it. Ailes was ghastly with that sex slave of his, the poor woman. CTyankee Jul 2019 #1

I actually think Crowe nails the part. Funtatlaguy Jul 2019 #2

Evidently, he had to be padded up to play the part and his make up to include jowls. CTyankee Jul 2019 #3

Yes, the makeup people should win something. Funtatlaguy Jul 2019 #4

I am so glad Ailes died and went to hell. Crowe was absolutely brutal in his portrayal of that beast.

Powerful stuff but hard to watch some times...

I wonder if he'll get an Emmy for playing this role...
