Eye Opening View of Fox News and the man who created it.
Roger Ailes no dough was a media genius. He definitely liked predatory behavior as he and many of his top media employees. He liked host that could mix it up politically like Hannty. The series made disturbed me of how he knew how to manipulate so well and play his audience. He knew Trump would be good TV and I felt was instrumental in aided Trump to the presidency. Murdock (Mr 562 media news market) pretty much just turned Fox over to him until his abuse of female employees got to bad. The Kayla Pospsil played by Margot Robbie as portrayed received the worst treatment by Ailes, much worse imho than Carleton and Kelly. The Fox building had cameras everywhere. Russell Crowe was excellent portraying Ailes. It was a disturbing view of Fox and Ailes aiding Trump all the way to President. Worth watching for a better awareness.

Great acting!
Russell Crowe is an amazing actor. I am so glad they made this movie. People should talk about this. This whole situation goes to show how slimy and malignant some of these so-called big important people are. Fox News? Ailes knew that patriotism has been and still is a well-worn tool. Push an “American” agenda, look like a “good ole boy” (or gal) and build a reputation that hides your selfish disgusting motives.

Excellent performance from Russell Crowe
Russell Crowe is almost unrecognizable as Roger Ailes. His performance is stellar. The mini series has an excellent cast. Have you ever wondered how Fox News got started? This very well made mini series will answer your question. The story chronicles the rise and fall of Roger Ailes . The movie also shows the rise of Fox News. A must have for any Russell Crowe fan. Highly recommended.

Shows how we got the worst President in history.
I loved this. I believe that it’s only biased to the fools supporting that Republican, lying, inept, former occupant of the White House.
