Ousted Fox CEO Roger Ailes Advising Trump on Presidential Debates
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, former Fox News chair Roger Ailes is reportedly advising
Donald Trump on next month's debate between him and Hillary Clinton.
Ailes resigned from Fox News in July. He has been accused of sexual
harassment by more than 20 women, including Fox News anchors Megyn
Kelly, Andrea Tantaros and Gretchen Carlson. Ailes has also been accused
of running his own "Black Room" operation out of Fox News, in which he
used Fox money to hire private detectives and political operatives who
carried out Ailes's personal campaigns, including targeting journalists.
Trump has called Ailes a friend and has defended Ailes after the
harassment allegations.
