Roger Ailes Buys His Wife Another Paper
Aw, we're beginning to think Fox News biggie Roger Ailes really loves his wife. He's bought another newspaper, the Taconic Press, in New York's upstate Putnam County, where they live.
Elizabeth Ailes will serve as the paper's publisher, as she does for the 3,000-issue circulation Putnam County News & Recorder, which the couple bought last year.
The Ailes's newspaper-buying escapade has prompted grandiose comparisons to great newspapermen like William Randolph Hearst and William Allen White. We have a different theory: Ailes just wanted an outlet with a bigger audience than the Fox Business Network.
