My Take
Whatever you make of his politics, I find it impossible to ignore how thoroughly Roger Ailes rewrote the grammar of American television news. A small-town kid from Warren, Ohio, he went from advising Nixon, Reagan, and the elder Bush to building Fox News into a cultural juggernaut. What fascinates me is his instinct for emotion over information; he understood, earlier than almost anyone, that pictures shape opinion. His later years were stained by serious scandal, and I do not wave that away. But as a study in raw media power, Ailes remains one of the most consequential figures of his era.
