In "The Loudest Voice in the Room," author Gabriel Sherman tells the story of a female TV producer who claims Ailes, as executive producer of an NBC late-night talk show in the 1980s, solicited sex in exchange for higher pay during a job interview. Ailes indicated that he had similar relationships with other female journalists, according to the book.

Here's an excerpt:

While interviewing Randi Harrison, a twenty-something out-of-work producer who had come in from Florida, Ailes steered the conversation onto uncomfortable terrain. According to Harrison, Ailes looked over at his NBC office couch and said, "I have helped a lot of women get ahead and advance their careers in the broadcast television industry." They were discussing her salary. Ailes offered $400 a week. Harrison told him it was a lowball figure. Ailes made a counteroffer: "If you agree to have sex with me whenever I want, I will add an extra hundred dollars a week."

"I guess we'll be in touch," Harrison said, getting up to leave. Ailes maneuvered around his desk and gave her a hug. "I remember seeing all the windows in his office and wondering, 'Does he do it here?' " she later said. "I was in tears by the time I hit the street."

1. 2 insults--first that she would be open to sex with Jabba the Hut

and second that she should be willing to do it for a hundred bucks a week.

4. There will be many more reports about Ailas...many more...

like we heard about Cosby in the beginning...one here, another there..so on..If this indeed goes back to the 80s, then the fall will be great and very very loud...there will be many more to report........

But will Fox News report this news????

5. I wonder how many times Ailes paid off women and had them sign non dislosure agreements?

Bill O'Rielly paid Andrea Mackris millions and Ailes kept him on the air.

Fox news really is a cancer on America.
