The ex-chairman and founder of Fox News Roger Ailes has died
aged 77, his family says.
A statement from his wife Elizabeth said she was
"profoundly sad and heartbroken", calling him a "patriot".
Mr Ailes ran Fox News for two decades and is credited with
transforming it into arguably the most powerful voice in conservative media.
But he stepped down last year after a number of female
employees accused him of sexual harassment.
At the time he said he was resigning because he had become a
"distraction".
Mrs Ailes' statement said: "During a career that
stretched over more than five decades, his work in entertainment, in politics,
and in news affected the lives of many millions.
