Fox Warlock Roger Ailes to Remain in Power for Another Five Years

Now, even lighter!

Fox News’ founding chairman and CEO Roger Ailes just renewed his contract with Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. for another five years. His salary was not released, but he currently makes $5 million a year before bonuses, and last year he pulled in a total of roughly $20 million. Presumably, Murdoch is hoping there just hasn’t yet been enough Ailes sorcery to make people watch the Fox Business Network. [TV Decoder/NYT]
