Not everything Ailes did was despicable. He did a fine job producing the Mike Douglas Show.

Not much evidence he was one to worry about what's "nice" so why should anyone treat him any different?

His wife seems upset. I'm guessing a number of other women are celebrating.

Ailes as Producer might have responsible for this. If so it's the only Good thing he did. The interview after the performance is priceless. They never did get the joke that TW was playing on them.

Charlie Pierce nails it
http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a55144/roger-ailes-influence/
The best thing I can think of to say about him is that he was the central character in one of the most groundbreaking political books of all time, The Selling of the President, 1968 by the late Joe McGinniss.
Let me think some more.
Hmmm…
No, that's about it.
Nil nisi and all that, but American politics would be infinitely better today if Roger Ailes had gone to barber college.

It's not nice to speak ill of the dead.
This is something I've never understood. If you are an as#@&%e in life, why should I pretend you weren't?
If anyone wants to be spoken well of after his death, he should lead a life deserving of good words.
This runs all the way from genocidal dictators -- "Oh, yeah, I know Adolph had all those millions murdered, but, you know, he was really a decent guy, at heart" -- to you and me and our daily good and bad deeds.

Betcha Russia killed him off and made it look like an accident. Stone and Flynn will be the next to go. They know too much about Donald.

The public figures speaking well of him are simply saying - Yes, he was disgusting but he was rich and powerful and that's what really counts.
