Bill O'Reilly is warmly remembering former Fox News Channel founder Roger Ailes, who died after a fall at his home on May 10.
During a four-minute tribute on his podcast Thursday, O'Reilly praises Ailes as a visionary and someone who "didn't take any guff from the left or the right" politically.
The 77-year old Ailes died Thursday in Palm Beach, Florida.
Ailes was ousted from Fox in July after accusations of sexual harassment. O'Reilly was fired his top-rated show at Fox in April after reports surfaced that the network had settled lawsuits with five women who alleged he sexually harassed them. O'Reilly has denied those accusations.
O'Reilly says Ailes' departure from Fox News "broke his heart," and after he was forced out Ailes was "never the same."
