He may have been America's most influential media mogul, the founder of a cable news network

that transformed the country's political culture.

The late Roger Ails was unquestionably a pioneer, a scrappy striver from a small town in Ohio.

He had an uncanny instinct for tapping into the anger, fears, and resentments of tons

of millions of Americans, especially in what media elites like to call flyover country.

After a successful career as a political strategist, helping to elect Republicans like Richard

Nixon and George H. W. Bush, Ails founded Fox News, a network that pledged to be fair

and balanced, but in reality was anything but, serving as a vehicle for stars like Bill

O'Reilly and Sean Hannity to relentlessly bash Democratic presidents and members of Congress.

By the summer of 2016, Ails was on the verge of his crowning achievement, helping to turn

more of Fox's most reliable and polarizing guests, Donald J. Trump, into the Republican

nominee for president.

But at that very moment, a stunning downfall.

Ails was exposed as a serial sexual predator and abuser, forcing his corporate bosses at

the Rupert Murdoch-owned 21st Century Fox Corporation to lock him out of his office.

It's a dramatic, citizen-cane-like story, told with gripping detail in a new documentary

being released today, divide and conquer the story of Roger Ails.

I am nothing to do with Russia.

Everybody knows it.
