The death of former Fox News chief Roger Ailes last week has inspired a mini-industry of sorry-not-sorry obituaries, detailing (as though we could ever forget) with solemnity what a miserable human being serial sexual-harasser Ailes was—a cruel, paranoid, terrifyingly shrewd operator who did more to poison our politics and civic life than maybe any other American in history (his boss Rupert Murdoch, as you may recall is Australian).
This week, The New York Times joined the party, in a sense. (Semi-side-note: The newspaper of note seems to have gained back journalistic life lately, spurred on by its stiff competition from the Washington Post: Is it too much to hope that a few years from now we might see a Dean Baquet vs. Marty Baron edition of Ryan Murphy’s Feud?). On Monday, the Gray Lady published the mother of all Roger Ailes think pieces, written by the woman on whose back—or more correctly, knees—he built his empire and his fortune: Monica Lewinsky.
