The small-town newspapers in New York's Hudson Valley that Fox News chief Roger Ailes owns
with his wife Elizabeth are in a staff revolt after employees caught Ailes spying on them with
News Corp. security goons.
In 2008, Roger Ailes purchased the Putnam County News and Recorder in rustic Putnam County,
New York to start feathering his retirement nest. The idea was that he and Elizabeth would retire
to their 9,000-square-foot redoubt in nearby Garrison, N.Y., and Roger would live out his days
as the gentleman publisher of a sleepy small-town newspaper.
The spying followed years of intense weirdness between the editor and the Aileses, who once
asked him to personally stop a break-in at their home and who implied that, after Roger's death,
he'd be expected to replace him in their marriage.

I've been invited to join a few couples in their sexual activities, but I have yet to be approached
by any of my employers requesting me to take their place, in this manner.
Oh well, whatever floats your boat, I say. Not that there's anything wrong with that kind of thing.
