6:59Now PlayingThe Emmys decided to put serial sexual harasser Roger Ailes in their in memories segment. Ana Kasparian and Mark Thompson, the hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Alongside the likes of the late Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, Gwen Ifill and Mary Tyler Moore, the 69th Annual Emmy Awards also memorialized former Fox News chief and accused sexual harasser Roger Ailes on Sunday night.
Ailes, the 77-year-old television executive who built Fox News into the most-watched cable news channel in the country, died in May, almost one year after he resigned amid mounting sexual harassment allegations.
A week before Ailes’ death, Fox News’ parent company 21st Century Fox disclosed that it had paid $45 million in costs “related to settlements of pending and potential litigations” involving Ailes and sexual harassment charges. A $20 million settlement went to former “Fox and Friends” host Gretchen Carlson, who sued Ailes for sexual harassment last year. Since Carlson stepped forward, more than 20 other women have accused the former CEO of improper behavior and sexual harassment spanning decades.
The annual In Memoriam segment is typically criticized for leaving out deceased stars of the industry. This year, viewers were upset to see Harry Dean Stanton, Charlie Murphy and Frank Vincent excluded, among others. The Television Academy did not respond to HuffPost’s request for comment on the decision to include Ailes.”
