A quick follow to a story we brought you yesterday:

One has to imagine this is the subject of much conversation in Cleveland — early reports in New York Magazine that Fox News chief Roger Ailes is on the way out after a sexual harassment lawsuit.

Those reports are now more numerous.

Variety, the Daily Beast and others say Ailes is out.

With a $40 million golden parachute.
