Sexual Harassment?

Roger Ailes is in the news a lot lately, most recently in an article in the Washington Post by Kathleen Parker "Fox and friends with benefits" in which she chronicles Ailes's alleged sexual harassment of women who have worked for him over many years.  Ailes has lost his job as the head of Fox News as a result of the allegations.  There was no mention of Bill Clinton in the article, how can anyone write a article about sexual harassment in this day and age and not mention the former President who admitted having sexual relations with a 22 year old intern in the White House, the single most egregious case of sexual harassment in modern history.  President Clinton did not resign and did not lose his job, he was impeached by the Congress but not for sexual harassment, and continues to be admired and loved by members of his party and the media.  Roger Ailes has lost his job based on allegations he has denied and the media has roundly denounced him without benefit of due process, but such is the culture we live in today, media bias rules.
