Monica Lewinsky: Roger Ailes’s Dream Was My Nightmare
By MONICA LEWINSKYMAY 22, 2017
This is not another obituary for Roger Ailes, who died last week a year after being ousted at Fox News. It is, I hope, instead an obituary for the culture he purveyed — a culture that affected me profoundly and personally.
Just two years after Rupert Murdoch appointed Mr. Ailes to head the new cable news network, my relationship with President Bill Clinton became public. Mr. Ailes, a former Republican political operative, took the story of the affair and the trial that followed and made certain his anchors hammered it ceaselessly, 24 hours a day.
It worked like magic: The story hooked viewers and made them Fox loyalists. For the past 15 years, Fox News has been the No. 1 news station; last year the network made $2.3 billion.
Some experts have noted that viewers found Fox for the first time because of the crisis. John Moody, a Fox executive editor, reflected on that period: “The Lewinsky saga put us on the news map.” As he put it in another interview: “Monica was a news channel’s dream come true.”

I guess she really was nutty and slutty
She could have saved herself a lot of grief my keeping her mouth shut.
Ailes didn’t make her put that junk in her mouth.
Then, and now.
I can’t understand her...sounds like she has something in her mouth.
Oh now it’s Ailes fault ..
Well, she was Bill’s squeeze for a while.
Yet they are all for going after Donald Trump for “sexual misconduct” because he made off color remarks during a surreptitious recording . . .
If she was smart she would keep her mouth shut. But she seems to have a problem with that.
Yeah, you’re a dumb bitch who’s 15 minutes are up.
Monica, all you’re doing is reviving the gossip and the smirking. You’re doing it to yourself. We don’t need to hear this. Maybe your therapist does.
That trollop is no lady.
“Relationship” “affair”
She does need a therapist.
Pathetic. Just pathetic.
She needs mouthwash.................Listerine Extra strength...........32 oz...........
She should get a job installing carpet and tiles. She works well on her knees.
Monica, you went after a married man. You helped create the scandal.
