Monica Lewinsky is blaming Roger Ailes — and to a lesser extent, Matt Drudge — for exploiting her relationship with President Bill Clinton so "mercilessly" that she considered suicide.
"Ailes, a former Republican political operative, took the story and the trial that followed and made certain his anchors hammered it ceaselessly," Lewinsky writes in a New York Times opinion piece published Monday.
"My family and I huddled at home, worried about my going to jail — I was the original target of Ken Starr's investigation, threatened with 27 years for having been accused of signing a false affidavit, obstructing justice, suborning perjury and other crimes — or worse, me taking my own life," Lewinsky writes. "Meantime, Mr. Ailes huddled with his employees at Fox News, dictating a lineup of talking heads to best exploit this personal and national tragedy."
Lewinsky acknowledges that Fox News wasn't the only network with wall-to-wall coverage of the president's sexual relationship with a White House intern, but she suggests the others were negatively influenced by the success Fox News was enjoying with its coverage two decades ago.
"Mr. Ailes's station may have pioneered this new style of reportage, but the other cable news channels didn't hesitate to join the race to the bottom," she writes.
Lewinsky writes that her column isn't meant as an obituary for Ailes, who died last week, one year after he was ousted at Fox News amid accusations of sexual harassment, but as "an obituary for the culture he purveyed." That culture apparently included online bullying, she suggests.

This dumb adulterous slut has learned nothing. After her life has been mostly ruined, after all these years. Pathetic. And she’s trying to lecture others.
Are liberals ever capable of accepting responsibility?
Yes, she should have played the harmonica instead of Bill’s.......
Another attention whore jumps on the “Fox Done me Wrong” band wagon. Pitiful.
Everyone is trying to get his money before he’s in the ground.
Well, at least you have the good taste not to refer
to her as Whormonica........
Fox was the only one covering it because none of the other networks would touch it. They were all in the tank for Slick Willie.
The comments at the source are just BRUTAL.
I approve.
The only one of her family that condemned her was a grandmother in Israel, who called her a disgrace and said how glad she was that her husband wasn’t around to see it.
Monica should have kept her mouth shut...
Monica Lewinsky: star-struck fellatrix and semen demon.
Her parents must be proud of their Hoovering offspring.
What a ditz. Would she even be alive without that publicity?
This is just a typical Liberal response. Always shift the blame, It’s always someone else who caused it. For sure Monica never opened her mouth, It couldn’t have been her fault.
So what is the purpose of her column?
What does she expect to accomplish by attacking Ailes?
He’s not the one who used her and tossed her aside like a soggy cigar.
Why doesn’t she blame the real media culprit: Maureen Dowd who writes for the paper Lewinsky is now writing for.
Monica, was it Roger Ailes who called you a stalker?
Lewinsky ought to thank the people who revealed the truth. Hillary was probably about to give Monica the Vince Foster suicide treatment.
