I'm not sure how this guy should be eulogized.  Maybe I'm just still in shock over Chris Cornell to care that this guy died too.

    I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.

    Great, now this will be the headline when we should be remembering someone truly great that deserves to be honored.

    The headline in my head hasn't changed. Unlike this guy, Cornell made a positive influence on my life.

    I'm just glad that he lived long enough to see his career go down in flames. He was a piece of shit.

    OP

    What is the point or question of this thread?

    I would like to know.  What does the passing of one have to do with another?

    What's the point of any thread? 

    If you read the very first statement, you'll understand everything. And if you don't, well, I'll just say I'm not surprised.

    Ailes was famous for his political acumen and wrote the now-classic political book “You Are the Message” in 1988. In the book, he said the most important factor in winning elections is “the like factor” — whether one candidate is, simply, more likable than the other.

    um, a politician being liked is probably the most obvious factor that everyone knows is what leads to being elected.

    You are something.

    You've shown much support for the DP and harsh sentencing for rapists... yet here you're admonishing someone for essentially doing the same thing.

    Let me echo the sentiments expressed earlier: this guy was an insect. The world is better off without him.

    So are all the "sexual misconduct" allegations proven or are they still alleged?
    A convicted rapist deserves the DP (although I still think life in prison is a harsher sentence)

    It's a reference to illustrate a point about Ailes.

    Without this reference it cant rebute the above statement.

    no. hillary being incredibly disliked played a pretty big part in that. my point was, his 'revelation' of the 'like factor' wasn't a revelation at all. it was stating the complete obvious and trying to lay claim to a buzz phrase.

    Even though the media and most people thought she was a shoe in and well liked were obviously wrong and President Trump was more liked.

    ugh. no, he wasn't. she won more votes. so she actually was more liked, he just got the votes where it counted for more.

    whatever DS.


    I show respect to people who deserve it.


    This man singlehandedly divided this country. he is responsible for 10s of millions of dollars being paid out due to his sexual harassment. the fact that you are defending him says a lot.
