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.

“Hillary was probably about to give Monica the Vince Foster suicide treatment.”
I think you are right...only when it was publicized it had the capacity to stop any unexplained accidents. I still feel sorry for Monica...she was just early 20’s and Bill Clinton took advantage of her crush on him. He’s still the villain of this piece (no pun intended).
No, Monica is just standing by her man.
So has Hillary. Two bigger loser women, hard to find.
They grow-up so fast. It seems like yesterday that she was crawling around and putting weird things in her mouth.
Sorry you fell for sleazy Billy boy’z wooing, but it is what it is...stop blaming others.
Sucks to be her.
LEWINSKY: It is Roger Ailes’ fault that I suffered the consequences for carrying on with a married man.
I bear no blame and responsibility that I suffered the consequences for carrying on with a married man, and the fact that I carried on with a married man had nothing to do with it.
Bill Clinton’s team paid her to lie under oath and it was pressure from Fox News that brought her to contemplate suicide. RIIIIIIIGHT.
Monica was in the room (without sufficient security clearance) servicing Mr. Clinton while he was on the phone discussing troop deployment.
But Trump leaks national security information. Riiiiiiight.
She would still blow Clinton twice a day if he’d let her.
If she didn’t want it exposed, she shouldn’t have done it.
Shouldn’t she be giving somebody a blowjob or something?
She should know better than to talk with her mouth full.
STFU B
I am certainly glad she did not commit suicide. However she is the one who put herself in the embarrassing situation - Not Fox and Not Drudge.
The poor, poor harlot.
She would still blow Clinton twice a day if he’d let her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She sucked so hard she corrected his vision.
She should have been more worried of Arkincide.
But her "culture" of blowing a married prez in the Oral Orifice is superior??
You bring bad luck upon yourself when you malign the recently deceased.
Did Ailes tell you to give the President a blowjob in the oval office?
