In today’s politically charged climate, Roger Ailes’ story is more relevant than ever as the newsman was considered a “de facto leader” of today’s modern Republican party. The Loudest Voice will take on the challenge of understanding Ailes by looking at defining points in his life, including experiences with world leaders and the sexual harassment accusations that led to the end of his Fox News reign.
