The left-leaning New York Daily News is not pulling punches on its take on the newest Roger Ailes developments out of Fox News.

The longtime Chairman and CEO of the conservative cable net is officially out, following allegations that have emerged of sexual harassment by several of his former female employees. In his place, global media giant Rupert Murdoch is acting CEO, though Ailes is still advising despite his “resignation” that was handed in Thursday.

The sarcastic Daily News — which never hesitates to use its editorial voice to lambast conservatism — ran with the headlines SLEAZY LIKE A FOX, complete with imagery of Roger Ailes smooching Murdoch.

2. He got rewarded. Damn shame.

3. SIXTY million? NYT said it was 40, and that was what he would have

been paid through 2018 in accordance with his contract.

Murdoch is "running" the place now (for continuity, he says) and Ailes is supposed to remain available for consultation.

What Murdoch does not know about tv is a lot. Perhaps they intend to let Ailes run it long-distance until the elections are over.

9. He was the perverted genius behind the show, maybe they are worried about losing money.

I wonder where the other 20 mil came from?

[MADem]

10. That is weird-maybe that is a consulting fee?

A way to slide him some lawsuit money?

[Rex]

11. Yep, enough so he still has something left over in the tank after the court battles.

Good friends like that, watch Ailes stick around behind the scenes as a consultant like you said. Maybe the 20 was an advance for his new job away from the spotlight.

4. Wow - a page one with punch

...telling yet another sordid tale about Evangelists of so-called Republican Family Values and their plethora of perversions.

5. Slugs in bad weather ...

... slime together ...

7. I used to get them mixed up but now I'm sure:

The New York Daily News is liberal and the New York Post is pure repug

Editorially, the News was originally somewhat more liberal than its sister, the Chicago Tribune. However, it gradually drifted rightward as Patterson became more conservative, and by the time of his death in 1947 its editorial line was staunchly supportive of the Republican Party. This changed after the Watergate scandal in the 1970s, with the Tribune papers turning independent and increasingly liberal. Across the same time frame, its rival newspaper, the New York Post, also switched its editorial line from Democrat- to Republican-leaning. The News kept its liberal point-of-view after seceding from the Tribune syndicate, and to this day has become nationally known for advocating immigration reform and gun control.

12. I remember the Daily News in the 60's and 70's

was very right wing. I've long since moved out of metro NY, so I was also surprised to hear the Daily News is now left leaning.

13. I'm glad they are!!

Just being on New York streets, seen by everyone, it gets lots of exposure!!

8. I LOVE the sub-heading at the bottom!

"Mercifully, It's Over With" - re: the CONvention! My sentiments exactly! Good to see they think so, too!

14. I wonder if Bill Cosby will get his due.

The elite get away with everything.
