Ward, do you realize how your words delegitimize yourself as a critical thinker.  You do not know Ailes.  You have never met him.  You have never conversed with him.  Likely you have never met anyone who has spoken to him.  Yet your professions suggest you have actual knowledge.  But you do not have actual knowledge.  In the absence of knowledge, you simply project yourself onto him.  Surely you do not claim that what the media tells you is true?  The media tells you whatever sells and makes them feel good.

You are completely right that I will defend anyone who is only presumed guilty because it is the American way to believe in innocence until proven guilty.  The founders were wise to impose that presumption, because it appears to be human nature to project adverse attributes onto others who do not think or look like us.  

You do have knowledge about yourself.  How do you make the lives of others better?  Why are you better than Ailes?
