Russell Crowe is Roger Ailes in Showtime’s miniseries The Loudest Voice, and he’s waging a war. Whatever happened to fairness, balance, and the power to harass your co-workers unchecked? In the show — based on the Ailes biography by former New York writer Gabriel Sherman — Ailes grumbles and hollers and grasps his way to media domination.
