Description

Academy Award winner Russell Crowe gives a tour de force performance as Fox News founder Roger Ailes in this 7 part limited event series. The series chronicles Ailes’ relentless, stop-at-nothing mission to start Fox News and build it into a force that changed the media landscape…and the sexual indiscretions, manipulation and intimidation tactics that tainted his legacy. The series also touches on defining moments in Ailes’ political life, where he arguably became the Republican Party’s de facto leader, reshaped public opinion and set the stage for Donald Trump’s presidency. In today’s politically charged media landscape, no figure loomed larger than Roger Ailes, and this inside story of his rise and fall is one for the ages.
