Oscar-winning documentary-maker Alex Gibney is to target fallen former Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes in his next film.
He resigned from the position in 2016 after Fox News anchors Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly made sexual harassment allegations.
It was subsequently reported that Ailes helped Donald Trump with his presidential campaign, but Trump’s team issued a denial.
Ailes, who started out as a producer in local television before acting as a media adviser to a string of Republican presidents – Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush – became the founding CEO of Fox News in 1996.
