Floodgates Open! Six More Women Say Roger Ailes Is Harasser

Pick your metaphor: "open the floodgates," "tip of the iceberg," "scratch the surface."

Of course, we're now learning that since the late 1960's (!) Roger Ailes' penchant for sexual harassment has been the, ahem, elephant in the room.

New York Magazine has published statements by SIX women who say Ailes harassed them while they were either in his employ or seeking employment. Two of the women were willing to speak on the record. The incidents recalled range from 1965 to 1989. None of the women currently work for Fox News.

The details, obviously, are disgusting.

There is a clear pattern with Ailes that while he worked on The Mike Douglas Show he demanded that young women sleep with him as a condition to appear on the show.

At least one of these women was 16 at the time.

Roger Ailes is now maneuvering to prevent anyone from testifying against him.
