Those who have been watching ShowTime's "The Loudest Voice" (Ailes & Fox), tonight's episode---yikes

My neighbor occasionally gets early dvd access to shows due to some past work and let me watch tonight's episode. If you've been following this series, last week really laid out his nasty sexual aggression/abuse. This week more his paranoia and nasty tricks (as well as those of his wife, Elizabeth). No wonder they tried so hard to stop Gabe Sherman from publishing this book.

This is a well-done series with an incredible performance from Russell Crowe. I only hope some who are ignorant of or actually sympathetic towards Fox see it.

about last week's episode on the Acorn fiasco. How Democrats just laid down and did not even try to defend the bullshit that Fox put out. Such a goddamn crime, but that is what happens. They just steam rolled over Acorn and no one even tried to mount a defense of them.

This series is pretty brutal and everyone in America should watch it. This is the playbook they stand by and we had better get our shit together to meet the challenge.

Russell Crowe is fantastic. And Roger Ailes' wife is unbelievable - what a diseased brain.

7. ACORN was a sacrificial lamb. It hurt not to have its voice any more.

We're hoping to get the next episode here soon! Crowe is fantastic as that self hating depraved monster. Glad he's dead and gone.

6. Its sickening that an entire nation (or half of one) followed this sick and demented man.

I always thought Dems were taking the high road when they didn't really fight back against Republican ugliness. Now I see the folly in that. Everyone should see this.

which featured a lot of trump. It showed trump going after Fox host Megyn Kelly and at one point he says she looked like she had blood coming out of her eyes or somewhere else. What kind of sick mind brings up menstruation like that to attack a woman. I will be so happy to see trump's big fall.

11. Yeah. There was a lot of reliving Trump's ugliest moments in 2016. Ailles is dead, but damn

the damage he wrought and the Fox minions continue to bring daily. I'd like Sean Hannity to go down hard too, along with F>>ker Carlson and a few others.

I was all psyched to see Ailes fired this week, but have to wait for next week, I guess
