Even if you haven't heard of Roger Ailes before, I'm sure you're aware of the sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him in 2016. Because after this lawsuit, the harassment issue turned into the #MeToo movement.
Roger Eugene Ailes (May 15, 1940 - May 18, 2017) was an American Republican Party (USA) politician, Media executive, and boss. He has worked for former Presidents of the United States, George H. W. Bush and Richard Nixon. He founded Fox News Network with Rupert Murdoch. He served as Chairman of the Fox News Channel and chairman of the Fox Television Stations Group.
Roger Ailes died at the age of 77 on May 18, 2017, when he fell and was seriously injured in his home in Palm Beach, Florida.
His life was in the TV series and also in the movie.
The 7-episode 'The Loudest Voice', which impresses with its cast, was about the life and career of Fox News founder Roger Ailes.
The founder, creator, and CEO of the channel closes his door and asks him to undress and dance in front of him because of the famous screen he invited to his room. Then comes the forced oral sex session, followed by rape.
These scenes take place in America. We witness the helplessness of the world's most powerful women in the face of male aggression.
The founder and creator of this record-breaking TV channel is a nationalist, conservative, rapist reporter. The TV series "The Loudest Voice" tells about the birth of Fox News, the rising news channel of the last 20 years in America, and its power over US society. Raising Fox News to number one, Roger Ailes does not hesitate to violate basic human rights such as private life, while holding on to the backward feelings and conservative values of society.
In order to gain the upper hand against the left-liberal weight in the US media, it scratches aggressive nationalist sentiments and breaks the ethical rules of the profession. Ailes describes himself as "right-wing, paranoid, fat."
He advises US presidents such as Nixon and Regan. He holds senior positions at NBC-MSNBC. When he splits up, he creates Fox News with the Murdoch family capital.
'The voice of the ignored Americans'
“Our job is to sell marginalized, ignored Americans the idea that their voices will be heard. We will show the world as they want to see it. Do you know what will happen? We will challenge the current agenda and become the 'loudest voice'! We will bring balance and justice back to this country.” The career of Roger Ailes, who emerged with the slogan "We will bring balance and justice", is growing with fake news. He humiliates and oppresses his secretary, editors who report news, and reporter women, forcing them to have sex. The truth is revealed when a female journalist sues him.
23 of the country's leading female journalists are declaring that they were harassed by him. Roger Ailes, who was fired from Fox News, which he founded in 1996, on charges of rape in 2016 and died 6 months later, was an ardent supporter of Donald Trump. The series adapted from the book of journalist Gabriel Sherman; reveals the brutality and ruthlessness of the male-dominated picture of women in the media world, more generally in working life.
Seeing the great threats that even powerful journalist women, who can be considered the favorites of American society, face in daily life brings a great universal problem to the agenda. The series increases its influence with famous actors such as Russel Crowe, Sienna Miller, and Naomi Watts.
The movie "Bombshell", which was released later, is also the story of Roger Ailes's scandalous journalism adventure. The revolt of women, which started to spread around the world, continues with the slogan "Me Too".
