let's go to george stephanopoulos. >> this is really shocking, george. >> yeah, he had been battling various illnesses for sometime. you can't underestimate the imprint he made on public and american politics. his time in politics goes back to the days of richard nixon, and he was responsible for the comeback of richard nixon in 1968 when he was the producer of the "mike douglas show." and remember, nixon had been out of politics and lost the race to kennedy in 1960, and he helped engineer the comeback for these men in the arena town meetings, and he put richard nixon back on the maps. he played a big role in the

election of h.w. bush, and then what a mark he made at fox news after working at msnbc, and came to fox news in the beginning and shaped the culture and ideology and shaped the world view of that network who had such a huge impact on our politics. >> all he has people know him most for fox news. his wife said i am profoundly sad and heartbroken to announce my husband, roger ailes, passed away this morning. he was also a patriot, and profoundly grateful to live in a country that gave him so much opportunity to work hard and rise and give back. during a career that stretched over more than five decades, his work in entertainment and politics and news affected the lives of millions and even as we

mourn his death we celebrate his life. and with all that he has gone through in recent months, how do you believe he will be best remembered? >> a good question. he did make a big stamp on politics and broadcasting, and he left fox news under the crowd of sexual harassment, and he was forced out of fox news and that's a big part of his legacy, and he did not leave fox news the way he wanted to leave. >> speaking to that, george, you mentioned he had many physical health ailments, but one has to wonder what the stress of all of that scandal had on his health. the impact that may have had on his condition. >> no question. this is a tumultuous time at fox news and the entire network has been ruffled by this, and he was at the center and he did so much

to create that network and the man at the center of the allegations for the harassment and several million had to be paid in settlements, and he was fighting the allegations as he continued to maintain so many of the allegations were false, and it took a toll on him as well, and it's hard to calculate about how exactly he died in the coming hours and days. but it had to have put such a period on him. >> absolutely, george. we know you are on your way to washington right now, and let's go to our chief business correspondent, rebecca jarvis that joins us on the phone right now. there's no denying the impact that roger ailes had on this industry and on business, rebecca? >> absolutely. and in particular on the box news brand. he is the man credited with building that brand from the ground up, the person who was a very polerizing force within the

media industry who saw early on the idea between combining opinion with journalism and that grew the fox news brand into an incredibly popular brand with viewers, and really created a new lane frankly in the cable space that hadn't really, before his time, been even conceived of and he built that idea, the fox news brand, the fair and balanced as they became known brand, and built a number of personalities along with it, and a number of individuals within fox news, bill o'reilly, who left earlier this year as well, and a number of other big personalities -- >> yes, thank you, rebecca, so much. we will continue to our regular programming and we will have a full west coast update on "good morning america." >> this has been a special report from abc news.
