More women accuse Fox News chief of sexual harassment
Roger Ailes, the man who has run Fox News Channel since it began 20 years ago, could be in for the biggest fight of his long career. More than a dozen women have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against Ailes in the wake of former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson's suit against him on similar grounds. Carlson alleges she was fired for refusing the powerful executive's sexual advances and six women profiled in New York Magazine say Ailes expected them to perform sexual favors in exchange for job opportunities.

The fight could be coming at bad a time for Ailes, as changes at parent company 21st Century Fox could leave him vulnerable in his position at the head of Fox News.
