New York Magazine says Rupert Murdoch is reportedly preparing to fire Fox News chair and CEO Roger Ailes, amid a series of sexual harassment accusations. Ailes has been under fire since last month, when Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson sued Ailes, saying he made repeated advances toward her. Carlson also says when she rejected his advances, Ailes retaliated against her by cutting her salary, curtailing her airtime and then refusing to renew her contract. A half-dozen more women have also spoken out about being sexually harassed by Ailes. One of the six women says she was 16 when Roger Ailes brought her into his office, locked the door and then pulled down his pants. When she refused to perform oral sex, she says, he chased her around the office until finally allowing her to leave the room.
